I get this same message whether the compatibility mode is set for
XP (sp3), XP (sp2), Windows 98/ME, or Windows 95, Windows NT 4.0
(Service Pack 5).

So, as far as I can tell, This is a wee bit past antiquated. Hmmm,
compiled 10/17/1995. I am now wondering if this was compiled under
DOS 6? I.e,is a sixteen bit program?

I am now

I think it was. I remember using Turbo Pascal back then. You'll need
x86 32 bit to even run it. I think the object oriented version ("OOPS")
of Turbo Pascal came out later, like in versions 5 or 6 (IIRC), and then
finally, Borland Delphi came out and superceded it. I loved Turbo
Pascal just for writing some basic programs for myself, and the fact
that it was nearly self documenting (to some extent), at least in
comparison to C, which is more cryptic.

C is _very_ user friendly. It is just rather ... "selective"
about who its friends are.

Yeah, I'd say! But at least not as selective as Assembler. :-)
