I noticed that a couple of dos programs, which may have been written in TP (and ran perfectly on my older computers), crashed on my Pentium II. If I try reloading the program multiple times, it eventually works. (when I say, "may have been written in TP", I mean that I wouldn't be suprised if they were written in TP - and that it would make sense if they were crashing because they were written in TP7) > The error only occurs when I run the program with the > Crt unit included. Maybe there is a bug in the Crt unit... and maybe there is a patch for it somewhere. (Is Turbo Pascal made by Borland/Inprise? is there one at the developers' website? or is it a reported bug, at the developers' website?) > Is there something I need to set up to resolve this > error? I probably haven't been much help - but if you send me a test program (and convince me that you haven't compiled malicious code)... I'd be happy to run it on my PII, to see if it crashes. (Or maybe someone with a PIII would also do the same thing?) -Benjamin Johnston s355171@xxxxxxx.xx.xxx.xx To signoff send a mail to listserver@xxxx.xx.xx with "signoff tcg" in the body of your message.
