I have Program that I run in DOs on my Dell latitude laptop (1 year old), I have copied the files off it and succesfully run it on a few other PC's , but I can't get it to run on my Brand New laptop, it comes up with a runtime error!. Someone mentioned something to do with it being in Borland Pascal .. and compatibilty with my Processsor .. i can't see why!!
Anyone shed any light on the problem
Any Help GREATLY Appreciated!!!

It's the set of language specific functions that act as 'interpreter' between OS and executable, but at a very low level.
Isn't there a 'new' version of this program? written in a real language too?

There's no new version - The guy who wrote it is dead
Thing is, both Laptops are using Win98 Installed from the same CD!!
I can't see the difference apart from one being newer

Some old Borland Pascal progs just will not run no the later OS's. Quite a few slick Borland Pascal progs wrote direct to the graphics hardware as fast as the processor would let them, this gave the programs flash menu systems etc.
When you try to run these on NT/98/W2K/XP etc. it just isn't going to happen.
Or it could be something totally unrelated
No help at all.....
