Well, the Manx libraries apparently have not read the manual I've read, cause they don't know about ColdReset. In fact, ColdReset isn't even included in the list of library vectors in the back of the Exec manual. Sigh. I saw it on page A-46 of the "Libraries & Devices" volume of RKM, published by Addison-Wesley, where there's a single paragraph about how ColdReset will cause a system reset identical to the one that occurs as power-on. I should try these things before I send out misleading messages! Thanks, Bryce, for pointing this out. ps. BUT, despite this, I guess you can still single step through Changekickstart to see how they do what they do to cold reset the Amiga! Ali Ozer, ali@rocky.stanford.edu
