What's a MOSLO prog???

Anyway, as you have been informed, this is probably a program compiled
with Borland's Turbo Pascal, specifically V7.0, which those half-wits at
Borland acknowledged but never fixed (well, Borland France did belatedly
fix the french version of the TP7.01 compiler, so some credit to them).

The preferred solution of course is to apply a patch to the TP7 run-time
library (particularly the CRT unit) and recompile the program. If however
you don't have the source code, you can try the EXE patches to the
executable suggested. Another such patch, for either the RTL or EXE
is :       http://fjf.gnu.de/bp-progs.html#NewDelay

Joe.
