This library contains two programs: COLDBOOT.COM and WARMBOOT.COM. These
programs provide the user with the ability to reboot an IBM compatable PC
from a .BAT file or from the DOS command level. These programs have been
tested on a 3270-PC, 3270-AT, XT, XT/370, AT, and AT/370, with DOS 2.1,
3.0, and 3.1. Furthermore, DOS was tested on the 3270-PC and 3270-AT
both with and without the following IBM Control Programs: CP 1.2, 1.22, and
2.0.
Invoking COLDBOOT.COM will cause your PC to reboot as though the PC has just
been powered on. A memory check will be performed before DOS will be loaded.
Invoking WARMBOOT.COM will cause your PC to reboot without a memory check.
This is especially useful if you wish to get rid of a device driver or a
Control Program (e.g. CP 1.2) which installs itself beneath DOS, since
it may not be possible to remove this program by depressing Ctl-Alt-Del.
