While developing my Windows apps with Borland C++ 3.1, occasionally I get
UAEs (or whatever they're called now) and sometimes I just go into the weeds
(well perhaps, more than occasionally).  Once I fix the problem, I usually
restart Windows and carry on again.  I do this just to make sure in case I
have corrupted Windows.

The question is - should I also re-boot DOS when this happens?  Does Windows
have any sort of barriers between my app and DOS?  I'm using Windows 3.1 and
DOS 5.0.
