Has anyone got this program running on a 4.77MHz DOS 2.1 machine?

On mine, I get a "divide by 0" error from the run-time library as
soon as the program starts.  This is on a bare machine with no
CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT, and thus no TSR's.

If I load my "keyboard type-ahead buffer extender" TSR first, things
will go even worse -- the machine will just lock up as soon as the
program starts, with what seems to be an inverse block cursor at the
top-left corner of the screen.

By the way, the machine in question has an original (old) PC keyboard.

Thanks in advance for any ideas.
