subject: Error 200

Some time ago, I was asking about frequent error 200 code with using
  various IM programs, especially IMNC.  Someone (I believe you) told me
  it was a Pascal compile error caused by systems now being faster than
  the original programmer allowed for, and which resulted in a divide by
  zero fault.   There was a fix for this error called TPPATCH, written
  by someone in Germany -- and IIRC you sent that to me.

  I had used that program, and still had problems from time to time,
  especially when attempting to recompile the nodelist in my batch files
  using IMNC /C.

  This week (I wonder why it took me so long ) I thought of another
  way to approach the problem.  If the program can't be patched to
  prevent the divide by zero problem, then why not just slow it down.
  Turns out I have a program on my system designed to do exactly that.
  It is called MO'SLO.COM, dated 1993.   I don't recall where I got it,
  but I'm sure it will be on many file systems of BBSes -- especially
  those with a gaming population.   It was designed to slow down the
  execution of game programs written for older systems.

  I put it into my batch file, and the nodelist compile went off without
  a hitch.  Hopefully, that solves the problem once and for all.

  If anyone cannot find a distribution copy of Mo'slo.com, I could send
  the executable to them -- I am fairly certain it was freeware.
