RdL> EXE. This worked!

 ET> I don't know this TP7TP5FIX TSR, so I don't know how it works.

 ET> You can look inside the exe file to determine if it was 
 ET> compiled with Borland Pascal or with Turbo Pascal: 
 ET> search the uncompressed exe file for the strings 
 ET> "Borland" and "Runtime error".
 ET> If both are not present inside the exe file, then it's 
 ET> not a TP/BP compiled program.
 ET> If both are present inside the exe file:
 ET>  - if the patch does work, the runtime error should be fixed.
 ET>  - if the patch doesn't work and the program still 
 ET> shows the runtime error 200, there's a good possibility 
 ET> that the program is compiled with non-standard startup 
 ET> code in the CRT unit or that the program is compiled 
 ET> with a different BP/TP version then the patch program 
 ET> is made for. Try other TP/BP patch programs for the 
 ET> runtime 200 error (for another TP version), look in the 
 ET> desciption that accompanies the patch program (if any).

 ET> Fwiw, I've three different patch programs to fix the 
 ET> runtime error 200 for TP/BP compiled programs:
 ET> PATCHDEL.EXE                5.104  19-07-1997  2:58
 ET> FIX_RUNT.COM                  554  02-06-1999 11:16
 ET> PATCH200.EXE                5.312  23-01-1998 15:38

 ET> There are no doubt more patch programs. Try searching internet.

Thanks for the information. I'm not going to bother looking because with the 
TSR the program works fine and that's all that matters. I've tried several 
other patches that worked on all other EXE's I've needed them to patch. I'm 
happy now.

Thanks,
Ryan
