Hi Rincewind, yeah, yeah, it's just that that only Borland _Pascal_ programs have this problem, you know...
 In short, when you use the CRT unit in your program, the initialization routine of the CRT unit computes a delay value from the actual CPU speed so that the Delay() routine will delay program execution for the same time on all PC's, e.g. Delay(100) waits for a tenth second. Unfortunately, the delay value is computed as the _16-bit_ result of a division which causes an overflow on too fast PC's (where a 32-bit result would work). Joe
