I don't think that the uue prog was inappropriate.  It is much
shorter than the source code I see posted (which I don't mind
at all, BTW).

P.S.  I optimised the reset.com and here is the source code:
	sub	ax, ax
	mov	ds, ax
	mov	word ptr [0472h], 1234h   ; mov word ptr ds:[472h],1234h
	db	0EAh, 00, 00, 0FFh, 0FFh  ; jmp FFFF:0000
This one is only 15 bytes long.
