The following code may interest someone - it changes the CTRL-BREAK interrupt vector so that if the user presses CTRL-BREAK the machine reboots. Note that this doesn't affect CTRl-C, just CTRL-BREAK. It won't work in the environment either, just in standalone .EXE's. DEF SEG = 0 POKE 108,0:POKE 109,0 POKE 110,255:POKE 111,255 DEF SEG Hope someone finds this useful. --- QuickBBS 2.80 GoldBase (Gamma-3) * Origin: Programmers Information Exchange (206) 283-5978 (1:343/27)
