[net.micro.pc] Reboot question

mike@LOGICON.ARPA (05/23/84)

I have noticed that when you exit back to the operating system using the
IBM XT Diagonistics disk (provided with the XT Guide to Operations) that
it seems to do a complete power-off restart.  It seems to start the memory
check program (POST, if I remember correctly).

However, when you do a boot using CTL-ALT-DEL you never to execute the 
memory check program. 

What is different between the two and is there some way to perhaps make 
a REBOOT program do the same thing?
