TP7 error 200, divide by zero on Win7 AtomCPU Netbook?

I used to use Turbo Pascal some years ago.

But when my I ISP said I couldn't use Win3 and I'd have to
buy W95, I said 'screw you' and changed to Linux and
ETH Oberon. Now M$ has screwed me by convincing the
wireless modem manufacturer to play "must buy WinTel
products". So I bought this lame Win7 NetBook.

I copied my TP7 directory to the Win7 thing, but I get:
error 200 divide by zero
when I compile/run the \examples\crtdemo.pas

I've just checked: compiled/ran the crtdemo.pas on
the original disk on the old PC and it runs OK.

Should I suspect a file-copy error, or is the AtomCPU
designed by M$ to reject Borland products.

I have the original boxed TP7 with books & 5.xx inch disks,
which could be a problem to get into the netbooks USB.

Please advise. Yes I want to run in DOS mode - I think.

Thanks,

== Chris Glur.

John,

The mini-FAQ on your site is out-of-date. :(

So it is. I have no copy from AIOE in my news file (but I guess
eternal-september will still have it).

I've uploaded the March 2011 copy from Google.

By the way, am I the first to notice the line in Version 2.00

Yes, there's little traffic. BUT ... I mentioned a few minor
corrections which you haven't fixed in months. So it's not all our
fault, ahem. ;-)

"It may be possible to run BP/TP non-Windows programs using DOXBox
http://www.dosbox.com/ currently at version 0.73, with version 0.74
apparently just around the corner."

DOSBox [sic] 0.74 came out apparently on May 12, 2010, which is almost
a year ago. :-P
