Any help would be appreciated.

In my experience, such programs are often due to an uninitialized variable of some kind, taking on a different value depending on the environment in which the program is run. - Rich Dr John Stockto Delphi Developer Wed, 18 Jun 1902 08:00:00 GMT Re:Heap Overflow

files The maximum number of files currently opened by your process has been reached. Certain operating systems limit the number of files which can be opened concurrently, and this error can occur when http://www.delphigroups.info/2/7d/6226.html this limit has been reached. 5 File access denied Permission to access the file is denied. This error might be caused by one of several reasons: Trying to open for writing a file which is read-only, or which is actually a directory. File is currently locked or used by another process. Trying to create a new file, or directory while a file or directory of http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/user/userap4.html the same name already exists. Trying to read from a file which was opened in write-only mode. Trying to write from a file which was opened in read-only mode. Trying to remove a directory or file while it is not possible. No permission to access the file or directory. 6 Invalid file handle If this happens, the file variable you are using is trashed; it indicates that your memory is corrupted. 12 Invalid file access code Reported when a reset or rewrite is called with an invalid FileMode value. 15 Invalid drive number The number given to the Getdir or ChDir function specifies a non-existent disk. 16 Cannot remove current directory Reported when trying to remove the currently active directory. 17 Cannot rename across drives You cannot rename a file such that it would end up on another disk or partition. 100 Disk read error An error occurred when reading from disk. Typically happens when you try to read past the end of a file. 101 Disk write error Reported when the disk is full, and you're trying to write to it. 102 File not assigned This is reported by Reset, Rewrite, Append, Rename a
CRT.ASM unit included with these compilers. DOS based programs that were compiled using these buggy versions http://www.pcmicro.com/elebbs/faq/rte200.html of the CRT unit will generate the RTE200 error when started on a http://alt.msdos.narkive.com/Y17C4EuV/runtime-errors CPU that is faster then 200 Mhz (though some non-Intel CPU's would avoid the error up to 350 Mhz). One solution is to recompile the source code using a later version of Pascal, or a fixed CRT.ASM unit. Obviously that's only possible if you have the source code available. The more common solution runtime error is to patch the .EXE file to disable the bug. There are several programs that allow this. The one I recommend is PatchCRT by Kennedy Software. This one is more compatible then most others, including TPPatch (which is less effecent, and uses German results and error text). I'd suggest keeping PatchCRT.exe in your path, so that you can run it from any directory simply by runtime error 203 typing it followed by the name of the .EXE to be patched. PatchCRT will only be able to patch .EXE files which have not been compressed by an EXE compressor, such as aPACK, Diet, LZEXE, PKLite, Petite, UPX, etc. If PatchCRT fails to patch the .EXE, there is a good chance it is because the .EXE has been compressed. The best tool I have found to uncompress .EXE files is UNP. This has worked for about 80% of the compressed .EXE files I have encountered. The nice thing about UNP is it runs well under Windows. My second choice would be CUP386, but this works best in a plain DOS environment without any extended memory manager (including himem.sys or emm386.sys) installed. I have used this tool to uncompress several .EXE's which UNP was unable to do. Once you have sucessfully uncompressed a compressed .EXE file, you should then be able to run PatchCRT on it to remove the RTE200 bug. If all the above fails, the other option is to run a TSR (Terminate and Stay Resident) utility that will provide a kluge to the division by zero issue by catching this error as
