R6003 integer divided by 0 error(?)

I just got an Acer Travelmate 512 with Windows 98 preloaded. Everything works fine. However, when I try to run a DOS calendar program, I get this error: Run-time error R6003 Integer divided by 0.
This DOS program installs okay, and it comes up with its own window. The error appears in the window.

What does this mean and is there anything I can do about it? I like this calendar program because I can transfer information from my other computer to it with a floppy.

Please.

Thank you

PS I have received 2 responses from the win 95-98 forum, suggesting that I run the program in DOS. That does not work any better. There must be something else going on, connected to that error,R6003. Other DOS programs run okay -- it's just this one reminder program(CATHY) that produces this error(so far).

This won't be of much help I'm sure, but computers crunch numbers. A rule in mathematics states that you cannot divide by zero. The answer would be infinity if you could (too big a value for the entire universe to contain, let alone your travelmate). Something may be corrupted in the program you are running, and out of millions and billions of 1's and 0's, it only takes one value to be unreadable to stop a program dead in water.
Can you obtain a fresh copy of the program and try it again?
Good luck.

Have you tried just looking up R6003 on the net? I got 594 hits and quite a few of them were on the problem you described. There may be a solution in there somewhere.

cup,
Thank you for that last suggestion; checking the web for R6003 error. I won't fix my problem but I understand what is going wrong. I am using an old dos program on a 333mgz machine. The machine is too fast for it. It is not worth trying to fix. I will find another reminder program.
