Dos Program Run Time Error
Contents |
the CRT.ASM unit included with these compilers. DOS based programs that were compiled using these buggy versions of the CRT unit will generate the RTE200 error when started on a CPU that runtime error 200 pascal is faster then 200 Mhz (though some non-Intel CPU's would avoid the error up to 350 Mhz).
Tp7p5fix
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 dosbox runtime error 200 you have the source code available. The more common solution 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 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 memory, and any programs being run in that DOS window will avoid the RTE200. Keep in mind that once you close this DOS Window, or open other DOS Windows the TSR will not be active unless you load it again.

A "Runtime Error 200", "Divide Overflow", or a "Divide by 0" error message that is displayed when you try to run a program may be a result of a timing loop that affects any program compiled on Borland’s TurboPascal* compiler. All versions (including version 7.0) of Borland’s TurboPascal compilers are affected by this issue. This compiler problem is dependent on the speed the processor is running, but it is not a processor issue. When executed at speeds greater than or equal to 233 MHz, a speed-dependent timing loop in the compiled program generates a large number. The code following the timing loop then attempts to divide this large number by a smaller constant number. This division results in a quotient too large to be represented in the quotient register designated by the specific divide instruction. The program will not run, and the system displays the "Runtime Error 200" message, or a "Divide Overflow" error message. The root cause of this problem appears to be the software libraries that come with the compiler. Any compi

Symptom: A legacy MS-DOS program crashed while leaving the cryptic error message. Solution A runtime error 200 message usually occurs with old DOS applications written in Turbo and Borland Pascal. Turbo Pascal had a timing bug that would cause its complied programs to crash when they were operating on machines running at 200Mhz or faster. It is known runtime error 200 as the CRT unit issue and can be fixed by applying a patch to the effected application. Otherwise you can run the application in DOSBox which can artificially slow down the speed of the emulated DOS session. If you wish to patch the application we have created a guide to help you through it. Though this is only recommended for people experienced with DOS or the Windows command prompt. Download UNP 4.11 A Turbo Pascal decompression program. Download CRTFix 1.16 A CRT bug patching program. Create a temporary directory. MKDIR C:\TPATCH Unzip both downloaded packages into the temporary directory. PKUNZIP TurboPascal-Unpack.zip C:\TPATCH PKUNZIP crtfix16.zip C:\TPATCH In our example we are going to patch defacto.exe which is the binary from an early Defacto magazine that suffers from this bug. So run the UNP program to decompress the binary. UNP DEFACTO.EXE Once the decompression is complete run the crtfix program to patch the binary. CRTFIX DEFACTO.EXE That is it, if the crtfix returned a Fixing code... Fixed. response then the binary is now patched and in future those annoying runtime error 200 messages should be gone.

It runs on Pentium machines, Toshiba 435 CDS laptop and a Pentium Midwest Micro Elite, but I get the following error code when I try to run the program on my Compaq Presario 1200 Celeron 700 MHz, "RUN TIME ERROR 200 at 1A01:0091". Can anyone give me any leads or advice on how to run this program on my new notebook? 2 4/4/2001 (9:01 pm) by admin Staff admin (24314 Posts) Restart in DOS mode, or install DOS 6.22 (as a dual boot, of course)! It's also possible that it isn't the DOS/Windows 9x difference that's the problem, it's just some ultra-modern notebook hardware that the old program doesn't know how to handle -- then you are stuck. 3 4/7/2001 (5:03 am) by [g33k.c0m] Russell Phillips [g33k.c0m] Russell P... (78 Posts) Yeah, Mark's right. A LOT of DOS4GW programs won't run on the latest hardware, sometimes it's the operating system that you're running, but sometimes it could be something like the chipset on your motherboard.. DOS4GW programs have been designed to run on a 386 or 486...
