   TP 7 does not support Windows - it can compile to DOS only. It seems you   
   are talking about BP 7 or TPW 1.5.   
      
   If you're talking about programs using WinCrt - forget it! It's   
   worthless to spend time for that. The only useful thing you can do with   
   WinCrt is a "Hello, world!" program.   
      
   If you really want to create Windows applications then use the units   
   WinPocs and WinTypes which give you access to the Win-API. You can   
   create you own Windows with the Ressource Workshop tool.   
      
   Note that you will create 16-bit Windows applications only - state of   
   the art for Windows 3.x! So it is VERY outdated! If you want 32-bit   
   applications, try Lazarus (free) or (much better) Delphi.

   Runerror 105 = File not open for output. Very strange! For me, your   
   program works just fine. Are you sure you have WinCrt in the "uses"-clause?
