    Same thing - runtime error 200.

    I found two different patches, but neither of them work on Compushow, 
because it is a compressed executable, and it is locked down.

   It is a combination of raw speed and some other parameters, which I have 
now forgotten.
Compushow 2000 is/was one of my favourite DOS graphic progs, so I spent quite 
a lot of time and effort trying to revive it - without success.  Now I just 
use it on the older, slower boxes.
