  • Terminate and Error 200

    From Flavio Bessa@4:801/189.1 to All on Sun Aug 23 18:39:57 2020
    Hello everybody.

    I was playing around with a FreeDOS VM, and downloaded Terminate 5.00 to use on it.

    When I try to run INSTALL.EXE, I get the classic Error 200 from Pascal.

    Tried to use the TPPatch.exe and nothing... Should I decompress the .EXE file, patch it and compress it again?

    Decompressing would help usually.

    I've always used something called PATCHCRT.EXE ...

    It is available here:

    Uncompress, get and use PATCHCRT and leave it as it is. No need to
    recompress.

    if the binary is compressed, of course you have to uncompress it first ;)

    recompressing it is up to you for the most part... just be aware that some software has built-in tamper-detection code so no matter what you do, you may be screwed... only solution in many of those cases is to run a TSR like
    moslow or similar which makes the CPU slower in that instance so the timing calibration won't all take place within the same second leading to x-x=0 where 0 is used for the divide operation...
