Hi everyone,

When I'm trying to run a program, it keeps giving me the error as in the subject. The program was written by one of my professors in 1991 and he wrote it in Pascal. He says that he managed to run the program ok on his laptop but I keep getting this error and I can't get past it. At the start, there was -2 instead of -1 but then he has sent some additional file ( .ovr extension ) and with this file in the directory it now changed to -1. I am using 0.74 version of dosbox. Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

Since you didn't have the overlay file at first, maybe you're now missing some other important files, such as runtime libraries.

Perhaps someone will recognize the kind of error codes you're getting; but otherwise I suggest you find out which particular type of Pascal was used to compile the program, then look for its documentation that can tell you what the error code means.
