1. 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=
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=

=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.)

Hmm, in my Pascal helpfile it says runtime error 200 is...
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.
