- Recently, a program was posted to comp.binaries.os2 to shut down OS/2
- from the command line. The program installs an icon which, when
- double-clicked, will shutdown the system. It does. Unfortunately,
- when you reboot the next time, this program auto-starts, and your
- systm shuts down soon afterwards.
-
- I had to boot a floppy and delete the program from my system in order
- to get back to the desktop.
-
- You MUST turn off application autostart to use this program.
-
- Just a friendly word of caution.
