Fix divide error message text
+++ entry.asm 4 Jan 2005 19:05:08 -0000       1.27.2.2
-; print a message 'Interrupt divide by zero'
+; print a message 'Interrupt divide error'


    This is not fix, this is change - though "division by zero" interrupt
INT0 hapens not only in case of real division by zero, but this ("Divide by
Zero") is a standard name. On the other side, "Interrupt divide error" I
read as "error in dividing the interrupt", so, if you wish to give more
meaningful name, there should be something like "Interrupt: division error".

Alain>>I agree :)

I don't understand why, for curiosityÅ sake only: "interrupt divide error" in english is ambigouous and can be interpreted in two ways.

Anyway, I vote for the exact MS-DOS message for compatibility.

Alain
