Hi Richard, > I'm new to Freedos, and tried it with a program written in Borland Pascal > which usually gives a 200 "divide by zero" error if run on a modern PC.
This is a known bug in Borland / Turbo Pascal / C compiled programs. The problem is simply that your PC is too fast. You can slow it down to 2/8 speed with "fdapm speed2" if it has ACPI, or use other slowdown software, or use tools which fix the Borland error in your program :-). http://fd-doc.sourceforge.net/faq/cgi-bin/viewfaq.cgi?faq=General_Information/265 www.bttr-software.de/links/ (very nice list :-)) www.opus.co.tt/dave/indexall.htm > The software seems to run perfectly under Freedos, and I would like to > know whether this is a fluke, or if Freedos does actually divide down > the system clock? The problem would happen in any DOS on your PC :-) Eric ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
