1. Reboot...
Hy,
I got a small problem with something.
I want to reboot my machine within a EU programm,
I've used the machinestring:
rebootstr={234,0,0,255,255,195}-- ReBoot String (RET (195) isn't
-- needed actually)
-- db EAh 234 -->
-- Goto adress
-- (Next four bytes):65535
-- dw 0000h 00 --> 0
-- dw FFFFh 255 255 --> 65535
But when I put this in memory and call it, EU crashes because
of a CauseWay Error. But when I do a system() call to the fileversion
REBOOT.COM, which contains exactly the same string, the computer does
reboot.
EU crashes in both DOS and WIN when allocate() and even when allocate_low()
is used.
Why is this happening, could it be fixed somehow, maby using another way?
Is there also a way to accomplish a reset-reboot with INT 19h
Thanks,
PQ

I think what you are forgeting is that Euphoria ( DOS and WINDOWS )
is running in protected mode and what you are doing is crashing the
Causeway and window DPMI system.

Eu does this because you're literally crashing the computer. Maybe it would
be better to suggest making a temporary .COM file. But then, they could soon
clutter up the hard disk...

There's also a better way to reboot. If I can remember, I think the code is
JMP FAR 0040:0072(that's in hex)
You can set the value at that memory position to 1234H for a warm reboot,
or something else for a cold reboot(the kind like when you turn on your PC)
