REBOOTING AN IBM PC FROM A BATCH FILE
|
||
|
||
|
||
When using SUPERSPL or SUPERDRV, a specified amount of memory is
|
||
extracted from system use. The only way to return the memory for
|
||
system use is to reboot DOS, because of the lack of support from
|
||
DOS.
|
||
|
||
This may be undesirable for those who wish to operate under batch
|
||
files or menus.
|
||
|
||
Below is a procedure to create REBOOT.COM, a program when
|
||
executed will reboot the machine.
|
||
|
||
To create REBOOT.COM, enter the following at the DOS prompt:
|
||
|
||
DEBUG <Return>
|
||
N REBOOT.COM <Return>
|
||
A 100 <Return>
|
||
MOV AX, 0040 <Return>
|
||
MOV DS, AX <Return>
|
||
DS: <Return>
|
||
MOV WORD PTR [0072], 1234 <Return>
|
||
JMP FFFF: 0000 <Return>
|
||
<Return>
|
||
R CX <Return>
|
||
11 <Return>
|
||
W <Return>
|
||
Q <Return>
|
||
|
||
You now have a file called REBOOT.COM on the default disk.
|
||
|
||
To reboot, just enter the name REBOOT at the DOS prompt, or in a
|
||
batch file.
