═══ 3. Warp Shutdown ═══

Did you ever notice that, if you have the IBM peer service running in OS/2 Warp version 4, the system will
never tell you what it is doing on a shutdown?  I have and it was very annoying.
Until you figure out what is going on you think that your machine has locked up during the shutdown
process.  OS/2 Warp 3 does not suffer from this apparent oversight.  Therefore the software I've written
here works on Warp 3 but there really is no point to it.

Well, I noticed the problem and I wrote this program to correct it.  The program will do the following
upon execution;

         1. look for IBM peer services
            log you off of the network
            stop the IBM peer services (if started)
            write data to the disk and shutdown
