Also, a couple other questions: 1) The FAQ entry does the INT 15 thing, simulating Ctrl/Alt/Del to flush the cache, but then does the actual boot via the usual call of FFFF:0. Wouldn't it be better to do the actual boot via the simualated C/A/D? (I'm thinking of what will happen if I run this program inside a DV window [I'm scared to try it] Ideally a warm reboot program ought to simply close the window.) 2) What about the fact that special considerations are often needed to reliably reboot when a V86 program like QEMM is running? I know for a fact that, at least in assembly, simply jumping to FFFF:0 doesn't always work. It seems like the FAQ entry could be more complete. (Not that I'm complaining, mind you...) ************************************************************************ A note to new readers: the weasely :-) symbol is frowned upon in this group.
