It's a mistake Borland made. The initialization part of the CRT unit has a calibration loop for the procedure DELAY. loi 200 trong turbo pascal The resulting value of a counter depends on the speed of the cpu. This counter has an overflow on high speed cpu's, including Pentium II 266 Mhz and faster. Actually it is the same bug error 85 turbo pascal that on earlier processors caused Delay to be inaccurate, that now causes programs to fail with a runtime error if they use the CRT unit! Some (earlier?) compiler versions mysteriously seem to go free of this bug - Delphi doesn't have them, for instance, and Turbo Pascal 6 seems to work too.

data while using the instructions in this document. Keep backups of the appropriate files! (and then some...) Programmers As a programmer you have several different options. First of all you can disable the delay-routine completely. If you need a delay routine you can use the one found in this document, you can create your own, or you can find another one somewhere on the web. Another solution is to change the Delay-routine so it will work on todays fast systems. This solution found in this document should push the problem about 10 years into the future if we assume that Moores Law is correct. If you're having Borland Pascal, you also have the sources of the runtime library. Just make the following changes and recompile the complete runtime library. A MAKEFILE is included with the sources. If you have Turbo Pascal only, it's a bit more complicated. You'll need the sources of unit CRT. At least the files CRT.PAS, CRT.ASM and SE.ASM. They are the same in 7.0 and 7.01. Unfortunately copyright laws prevent me from letting you download the patched CRT.TPU file from this server, so please change it yourself (it is pretty easy): Implement the changes, and assemble (TASM 3.2 preferred): TASM -w- -z -e -i.

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 error 113 turbo pascal slower and/or inoperable. Runtime Error 200 Causes The Runtime Error 200 problem is generated in the initialization routine’s internal workings. What runtime error 105 turbo pascal happens is a code will actually measures the “running time” of what is called a busy wait loop. While doing so it calculates how many times a call must be made for a delay in the correct http://mtech.dk/thomsen/program/pasbug.php 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 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 http://wiki-errors.com/runtime-error-200-%E2%80%93-the-pascal-error/ 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.

these compilers when run on a Pentium-class computer faster than about 180mhz. Borland (now Inprise) has no officially-supported fix for this http://s416217492.onlinehome.us/error200.html but several unofficial fixes have appeared on various Pascal programming forums and newsgroups. http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=93 Some are to patch the CRT unit in your compiler (so you can produce programs free of the problem) and others are programs to patch executable programs that have the problem (in which case you do not need the source code or the means to re-build the problem program). turbo pascal A patcher for existing problem programs written by AndreasBauer appears to work. I have used it on a 233 mhz Pentium II and have heard of others using it on up to 400mhz machines. The ZIP file contains documentation in English (shown below) and German, and the patch seems to work as described. The patch used to be on Klaus Hartnegg's pages at... turbo pascal error http://www.brain.uni-freiburg.de/~klaus/pascal/runerr200/ ...but as is often the way with sites at universities, Klaus' directories are gone now. I have placed the file here. tppatch.zip (9,623 bytes) Here is the English version of the documentation... TPPATCH does fix a bug appearing in all programs that have been written using Turbo Pascal when such a program is run on a Pentium Pro 200MHz or a faster computer. This bug causes a runtime error 200 when the startup code of Delay() is executed. The bug appears when a DIV instruction is executed and the result does not fit into the destination register. With this bugfix you can patch all files that have been compiled with Turbo Pascal, for example Crosspoint. This procedure does also work with applications compiled for the protected mode. To patch software without having the source of it, you can apply better methods, for example replacing Delay() if you have the runtime sources, and a unit has been posted in some newsgroups that will circumvent this with various low-level tricks. With this patch Delay() does run correctly on all slower machines, likewise on a Pe

Topic locked 3 posts • Page 1 of 1 Fix "Error 200" (Divide by zero) - by Snover and Stiletto, with thanks to edelbeb by Snover » 2002-7-26 @ 00:40 If you're trying to play an old game and it was written in Turbo Pascal, chances are, on any machine over 200MHz, you will get an Error 200 (Divide by zero error). This program corrects the problem by patching your executable. From the readme... ctbppat v1.2 © Andreas Stiller [April 2000]ctbppat fixes programs coded in Borland Pascal that cause runtime error 200 on systems with clock speeds of over 200MHz. This error occurs due to incorrect initialisation of the DELAY counter.ctbppat is also a universal EXE scanner, monitor, and patcher. It supports the usual EXE formats -- MZ for DOS; NE for OS/2, DPMI, and Windows 3.11; and PE for 32-bit environments -- and can detect the language with which the file was created. Running "bppatch *.* /s [/p]" will list all file formats in the current directory.If you use the switches /NE, /MZ, or /PE, ctbppat will be restricted to the respective EXE format. This will increase the speed with which it can analyse files. Running in pure DOS mode with SmartDrive (if possible) will also increase analysation speed.If ctbppat finds an executable made with Borland Pascal 7.0, it will examine the file further to determine if it uses an original or changed CRT unit, whether this unit is already patched, and whether the DELAY function is called at all. (If it is not, patching is unnecessary.)Depending on the result of this examination, ctbppat may offer to patch the file. If the DELAY function is used, it can be fixed by using a different delay routine that should function properly up to ~4GHz.To do this, the BREAK routine in the CRT unit is shortened and the delay code patched into the free space.If DELAY is not used,
