Install Runtime Error 200
CRT.ASM unit included with these compilers. DOS based programs that were compiled using these buggy versions of the CRT unit will generate freedos runtime error 200 the RTE200 error when started on a CPU that is faster then 200 Mhz tp7p5fix (though some non-Intel CPU's would avoid the error up to 350 Mhz). One solution is to recompile the source code using dosbox runtime error 200 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 is to patch the .EXE file to disable the bug. patchcrt 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 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 the .EXE is being run, and telling DOS to ignore it. The best TSR I have found to do this is TP7p5fix. Simply run the TP7P5.EXE to load the TSR into memor
encounter this Runtime Error. Runtime Error 200 Symptoms Like any other Runtime Error, Runtime Error 200 lets itself be well known via a pop up alert. This “bug” seems to pop up in DOS based programs that were faster than 200MHz and could make an already slow machine even slower and/or inoperable. Runtime Error 200 Causes The Runtime Error 200 problem is generated in the initialization routine’s internal workings. What happens is a code will actually measures the “running time” of what is http://www.pcmicro.com/elebbs/faq/rte200.html called a busy wait loop. While doing so it calculates how many times a call must be made for a delay in the correct amount. When the computer moves too fast and the loop takes zero ticks and the calculations come up as “Division by Zero’ or Runtime Error 200. Solving Runtime Error 200 There are two ways in which you http://wiki-errors.com/runtime-error-200-%E2%80%93-the-pascal-error/ can go about solving Runtime Error 200 problems. The first way is to use a patch in order to get the program to work, but this is risky. If you do this be sure you are using a reputable website in order to get the patch as some patches are really nothing more than viruses in disguise. Another solution is to run a TSR, or Terminate and Stay Resident, utility. Steps: Run the TP75.EXE and allow loading into TSR memory. Run your DOS program and avoid the error message. Repeat steps one and two each time you access DOS as the TSR will not be active unless you load it each time.

the delay factor to the maximum possible value. Note: this program speaks only German, but English docs http://pedrowa.weba.sk/docs/Delphi/Pascal/Fixes%2520for%2520Pascal%2520'Run%2520Time%2520Error%2520200'/download.html are included. Note: This program is recommended by Borland. Use: if your program is program.exe , enter the command tppatchprogram.exe Warning: This patch will cause delay http://www.heise.de/ct/hotline/Nicht-schon-wieder-Runtime-Error-200-307662.html to run too fast on computers that are significantly faster than Pentium II with about 233MHz. Some programs require correct timing, for those this patch may do runtime error more harm than help! Other programs should work fine with this. Technical details: A patched program will test if the computer is too fast. If no it proceeds with calculating the delay factor as usual. If yes the factor is instead set to the maximum possible value. Program makes room for the required additional code by runtime error 200 rewriting two variable assignments directly before the patched region with shorter code that is functionally equivalent. (If you don't see that it's equivalent after looking at the assembler code, note the registers that are used!). t7TplFix.zip patch program for Run Time Library file of Turbo Pascal 7.01 Program patches the file TURBO.TPL, the run time library file of Turbo Pascal version 7.01. Use: replace your file TURBO.TPL with the one generated by this program, then recompile your pascal sources. Technical Details: applies the same patches as in bp7patch (c't magazine), but uses the bugfixed Pascal version 7.01. No other files are changed, no other undocumented modifications are done to the CRT unit (unlike in the other distributed RTL files, see some of the other solutions below). NewDelay.pas unit with delay replacement and error trap (maybe newer version available here) This unit comes as pascal source. It contains two things: a new delay procedure that prevents the overrun by using a 32 bit delay

Schuld ist eine schlampige Programmierung der Initialisierung für die Delay-Routine in der Unit CRT, die bei schnellen Prozessoren überläuft und den Runtime-Fehler provoziert. Der Effekt ist nicht neu, er trat schon bei Pentium-II-Systemen ab etwa 266 MHz auf. c't hatte schon vor drei Jahren unter ‘Borlands Zeitbombe’ (c't 7/97, Seite 232) auf diesen Fehler bei der Division hingewiesen und für Programmierer eine verbesserte CRT-Routine vorgestellt, die 32-bittig dividiert und die erst bei Pentium-II-Systemen ab etwa 256 GHz überläuft. Um sie nutzen zu können, braucht man aber den Sourcecode der betreffenden Programme und den Borland-Pascal-Compiler. Oft liegt jedoch vom Programm nur der ausführbare Binärcode (EXE) vor. Hier half damals ein einfacher Patch weiter, der in den EXE-Dateien ein Byte änderte und so den schuldigen Teilerwert von 55 auf 110 verdoppelte, was den Überlauf erst mal verhinderte - wenn auch mit dem Nebeneffekt, dass gleichzeitig die Delay-Dauer halbiert wird. Statt 1000 ms wartete dann ein Delay (1000) nur noch 500 ms. Doch mit Pentium II oder Athlon ab 550 MHz und schneller reicht nun der Teilerwert 110 nicht mehr aus: das Runtime-Error-Spielchen wiederholt sich aufs Neue. Man kann nun höhere Werte für den Teiler einpatchen. Mit maximal 255 reichts etwa bis zu den Gigahertz-Prozessoren. Da der Teiler 16-bittig ist, kann man schließlich auch das nächste, höherwertig Byte patchen und hat dann Reserve bis etwa 256 GHz. Dummerweise wird dadurch aber die Delay-Dauer immer kürzer und kürzer, was mitunter neue Probleme aufwirft. c't hat daher einen anderen, etwas aufwändigeren Patch entwickelt, der die Delay-Funktion nicht beeinflusst. Er ist derzeit zwar nur bis etwa 3 GHz Pentium II/III tauglich, aber das dürfte erst mal reichen. Das Programm BPPatch2.exe (auf www.heise.de/ct/ftp/ctsi.shtml) vereinfacht auch die Bedienung. Es erkennt, ob es sich bei einem vorliegenden EXE-Programm um Borland-Pascal 7/7.01, TP 6, TP5.x oder TP4 handelt, ob es die CRT-Unit benutzt, ob diese bereits gepatcht oder mit der ‘überlaufsicher
