[Freedos-user] FreeDOS Speed
Thanks. I was using the fdconfig.sys and autoexec.bat that were generated when I installed FreeDOS. At bootup I use the first choice. I am running natively on a 486. once I commented out LH FDAPM APMDOS in autoexec.bat and rebooted my compiles run at full speed. FDAPM has a SPEED subcommand that changes the speed in 1/8 steps. 8/8 is full speed, 4/8 is half speed. Games need to slow the system down weather running natively or in a virtual machine.

Re: [Freedos-user] Freedos Speed
Hello, It is a well-known Turbo Pascal Library bug, you can either fix the resulting program, or the TPL itself. More details here: http://www.brain.uni-freiburg.de/~klaus/pascal/runerr200/download.html Regards, Aitor 2008/6/18 Richard D. [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I'm new to Freedos, and tried it with a program written in Borland Pascal which usually gives a 200 divide by zero error if run on a modern PC. The software seems to run perfectly under Freedos, and I would like to know whether this is a fluke, or if Freedos does actually divide down the system clock? - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.

Hi Richard, I'm new to Freedos, and tried it with a program written in Borland Pascal which usually gives a 200 divide by zero error if run on a modern PC. This is a known bug in Borland / Turbo Pascal / C compiled programs. The problem is simply that your PC is too fast. You can slow it down to 2/8 speed with fdapm speed2 if it has ACPI, or use other slowdown software, or use tools which fix the Borland error in your program :-). http://fd-doc.sourceforge.net/faq/cgi-bin/viewfaq.cgi?faq=General_Information/265 www.bttr-software.de/links/ (very nice list :-)) www.opus.co.tt/dave/indexall.htm The software seems to run perfectly under Freedos, and I would like to know whether this is a fluke, or if Freedos does actually divide down the system clock? The problem would happen in any DOS on your PC :-) Eric - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
