OFF: Fast CPUs and Runtime Error 200
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=

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=

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=

of your processor speed. You will need to test different values, but thi=

(Its one of the few programs whose doc file is six times larger than the
