- Well, the way I did it is that my daughter's rabbit ICON kicks off a bat
- file that puts a 'flag file' in a temp directory. The bat file then runs
- boot /dos (I have dual boot set up) and the system reboots in dos. The
- autoexec checks for the temp file. When found, the game is played and
- after exiting os/2 is rebooted. Disgusting but it's the only way I could
- find to avoid sending back the game. It's somewhat seamless, but folks
- logged into my bbs don't like when that curly headed rascal boots them
- off. :-)
