If you mean that you get a runtime error when running the program and you
are running a Pentium > 200MHz, this is due to an error in the Turbo Pascal
compiler. You can get round this either by patching the program or by simply
using a program to slow down the computer.
go to www.simtel.com and search the msdos section for "slow". You'll find
something.

Alternatively and even easier you can find the ROM image at
