Hi.

I'm writing a program that, under certain conditions, needs to reboot the
computer. I figured that this was a simple generation of interrupt 25 (hex 19).
However, everytime I try to use this mechanism (using geninterrupt or int86
from Turbo C) the computer hangs. Anyone have any ideas?  Please mail or post
and I'll summarize if there seems to be an interest (I can't belive that I'm
the only person who has run into this problem. Then again I'm probably doing
something stupid.)

THANXS!
