Off-topic, but...

According to my Turbo Pascal docs, runtime error 200 is division by
zero.

It's possible there's some timing-dependent code in the program.  For
example, maybe they calculate the time needed to execute some loop (in
microseconds, maybe), then divide by it to determine the number of
times to run the loop.  But on the fast machine, it might take less
than a microsecond, which might make the time "zero".
