- Also, a couple other questions:
- 1) The FAQ entry does the INT 15 thing, simulating Ctrl/Alt/Del
- to flush the cache, but then does the actual boot via the usual
- call of FFFF:0. Wouldn't it be better to do the actual boot
- via the simualated C/A/D? (I'm thinking of what will happen
- if I run this program inside a DV window [I'm scared to try
- it] Ideally a warm reboot program ought to simply close the
- window.)
- 2) What about the fact that special considerations are often
- needed to reliably reboot when a V86 program like QEMM is
- running? I know for a fact that, at least in assembly,
- simply jumping to FFFF:0 doesn't always work.
-
- It seems like the FAQ entry could be more complete. (Not that I'm
- complaining, mind you...)
