Hi all,
I have a DOS (radio decoder) program which is installable from the floppy disk. I'm using a reasonably modern 1.8 Ghz PC running MS-DOS 6.22(dual booting with Winxp) The installation command returns a "run-time error 200" I believe this is caused by program files compiled under Turbo Pascal which do not like the fast processor, also that a PATCH called tppatch.zip could solve/bypass the problem. Can anyone help me with a practical (step by step) guide to ACHIEVING this. Also I have to unpack the files (on my program floppy) before PATCHING can be done.
I have downloaded tppatch.zip and a recommended unpacker ucfcup34.zip.
I am fairly happy with most DOS commands - though a bit rusty.
Can anyone help me?
Regards,

If you have the source code , rewrite with C and compile with a c complier.Catch-22. The unpacker program is in zip format?

Couple of possibilities:

1. The ucfcup34.zip file MIGHT be in self-extracting format, in which case double clicking the file will extract the executable so you can unzip tppatch.zip.

2. This link might be helpful.

Do all the unzipping from XP before applying the patch in DOS.

Good luck. Thanks for suggestions. YES I'm ok at using pkunzip in DOS. The program has to be installed from the floppy using the "install" command which unpacks at the same time. So not sure of path for using cup384(to unpack) Then I need to patch some of the files unpacked to use the tppatch program on. All taking place on the floppy?
