Hi Mirko,

Thanks very much for the reply. I found PATCHCRT.EXE and used it on the INSTALL.EXE, TR.EXE and POST.EXE. In each case patchcrt said that the files had been patched, and INSTALL.EXE worked, but when I executed TR, after the prompts or name and call, it hangs
up.

What sort of hardware are you using it with?

Any other thoughts?

cheers, Paul

It is well known problem with software written in Pascal language and fast processors (divide by zero error in CRT module). Try to find PATCHCRT.EXE software and patch your install file with it. Maybe you would need to patch LOG.EXE and POST.EXE as well after installing. Anyhow, it works for me!

    I am in the process of building a new computer for the shack from
    some unused pieces I had. The board is a P2B-F with 500MHz
    processor and
    1 gig of memory. I installed DOS 7.1 on one partition, but when
    I try to execute the "install.exe" program I get the Runtime error 200
    and when I try to execute TR itself, the computer hangs.

    I do not have access to my current shack computer due to the distance
    between my residence and shack but I believe it is also running a
    500MHz processor, but the OS is Windows 98 run in command mode, and
    the memory is about 500Meg.

    Has anyone else tried to run TR under DOS 7.1 in a machine with
    1 gig memory? Have you encountered the same issues, and if so
    how were you able to resolve them?

    The following is the contents of the DOS 7.1 config.sys file. My
    DOS skills are a bit rusty, but I don't recognize anything there
    that could be the problem. Is there something I am missing?

    config.sys file contents:

    DEVICE=C:\DOS71\ECHO.SYS W/e/l/c/o/m/e /t/o MS-DOS 7.10...
    DEVICE=C:\DOS71\ECHO.SYS C/o/p/y/r/i/g/h/t M/i/c/r/o/s/o/f/t
    C/o/r/p. A/l/l /r/i/g/h/t/s /r/e/s/e/r/v/e/d.
    DEVICE=C:\DOS71\HIMEM.SYS
    DEVICE=C:\DOS71\EMM386.EXE RAM
    DEVICEHIGH=C:\DOS71\SETVER.EXE
    REM DEVICEHIGH=C:\DOS71\POWER.EXE
    DEVICEHIGH=C:\DOS71\VIDE-CDD.SYS /D:IDE-CD
    REM DEVICEHIGH=C:\DOS71\DISPLAY.SYS CON=(,,1)
    COUNTRY=001,437,C:\DOS71\COUNTRY.SYS
    SHELL=COMMAND.COM <http://COMMAND.COM> /P /E:640
    DOS=HIGH,UMB,AUTO
    FCBS=4,0
    FILES=30
    BUFFERS=20,0
    LASTDRIVE=26
    STACKS=9,256
    SET PATH=C:\DOS71;..;

    I realize that the path command is not what it needs to be for a
    functioning TRlog system, but the TRlog hangup occurred while
    I was executing the file from within it's resident directory.

    Thanks in advance.

    cheers, Paul - VA7NT
