Because Euphoria DOS32 is one of the few apps that makes a big deal out o= f its abaility to work with DOS, while the trend is going away from DOS, I assume there are a disproportionately high number of DOS users on this list. But, I'm sure that all of us DOS users will, at some time, realize= that the DOS only machine has outlived its time, like I did. Well, have you upgraded to a fast CPU and found that some programs (particularly older DOS programs) don't work? Or, they might give you a runtime error 200 Well, particularly for the latter, there is a definite cause and solution= =2E = The cause is that your processor, believe it or not, is too fast for your= program! Yes, it is true. There is a program called Mo'Slo (which I can= send you privately) which allows you to run a program at a given percenta= ge of your processor speed. You will need to test different values, but thi= s =2ECOM utility (the .ZIP file is less than 4k) is remarkably simple to us= e. = (Its one of the few programs whose doc file is six times larger than the one program file.) --Alan =

DIVISION BY ZERO well maybe you're right, the program counts from one to a hundred, calculate the difference in timeticks, then it divides a value by this difference, then it gets you a division by zero error... Yes the "Runtime error %d at %04X:%04X" message is Pascal's.
