- Somebody asked me to give them a program to reboot (wouldn't you know...)
- And, yes, this is a rather (ahem!) naive user, who *is* using Windows,
- so the usual solution (heh heh) will not be a good thing.
-
- Anyway, I got the FAQ, and yup, there it is, in part3, sample code to
- reboot safely.
-
- My question is this:
-
- Is the example given intended to be used as is?
- (Or is there some other gotcha, and this is just code presented
- FYI, etc...)
-
- I mean, I know I end up sounding like the world's biggest
- weenie, but its like it would be nice if someone would compile
- it and put it on an FTP site somewhere.
-
- I did search SIMIBM.IDX, on keyword WARM, and didn't find anything
- particularly recent.
