Thanks for any information. > >-ping ping@cubmol.bio.columbia.edu (128.59.128.3) If you want something "off-the-shelf" then check out PC Magazine's DOS Powertools book. Has a program called WARMBOOT.COM that will do exactly what you want. Also has COLDBOOT.COM to simulate a power-off reboot. If you want to do-it-yourself, any good BIOS reference or PC tech reference will give you the necessary information. I probably have it somewhere around here, but its likely buried under a lot of garbage and I'm too laze to look...:-) Dave the DM bank@lea.csc.ncsu.edu
