Or,
I'd be interested in your batch file that makes the shut down of
Win95 easier. Also, when you go to shut down Win95, it only gives four
options. The one I'm interested in is the one that says restart in msdos
mode. I know for certain there is something left of the Win95 code in
memory when you do that, because when I do that and try to get in to
Win3.11 it says wrong windows version. The other thing is simply to
reboot the computer, and that takes a bit more time. Any way to eliminate
that besides rebooting?
