Hi, CLP'ers! Think I've got an easy one for ya tonight: How can I force a machine reboot in TP? (The equivalent of a ctrl-alt-delete) Thanks in advance! ***************************************************************************** * Michael A.

(The equivalent of a ctrl-alt-delete) Pretty easy. call the reboot interrupt. details in the interrupt list, wuarchive.wustl.edu, /mirrors/msdos/info/inter291.zip??? , It goes kinda like: store $1234 in some address, then call some interrupt. In pascal goes kinda like: var a:word absolute blah; regs: registers; a:=$1234; Intr(bloop,regs); >Thanks in advance! No problem. Any mistakes are due to finals. >***************************************************************************** >* Michael A.

(Exercise: Why is this not good?) Use the `jump to $ffff:$0000' method. (Details in the Frequently Asked Questions file for comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc.)
