I have been trying to write a program in TurboC to reboot the machine by
using interrupt 0x19.  This interrupt, according to the documentation I
have will reboot the system.  I know I could just hit cntrl-alt-delete and
do the same thing, but software control might come in handy.  Right now
all I do is call int 0x19.  All this does is seem to start the bootstrap
but then seems to get lost.  I am forced to hit the hard reset button to
get my system back.  My question to you net.programmers is, what else do
I have to do besides call int 0x19?  If you try to email me, use the address
below as going through cbnewsc is not reliable.

						Thanks!
