Under Win2000, >>> or for that matter, WinME <<< memory does not properly
free up.  An annoyance to the users, but they will grudgingly accept it when
they realize their computer doesn't blow out to death and cold restart if
they put up with it is to periodically dump out. Note that this file WILL
NOT WORK FOR ME because the comspec looks just like 98. If you have ME
machines either upgrade to 98SE <g> or don't bother checking for the
operating system directory.

-- Restart.cmd
SET VAR vComSpec = (ENVVAL('ComSpec'))
IF vComSpec CONTAINS 'WinNt' THEN
   PAUSE 3 USING 'Freeing up your memory to avoid the crash!!' +
        AT 1 ENTER WHITE ON GREEN
   ZIP RETURN EXIT
ENDIF
RETURN


The 'EXIT' on the end of the line cuts a second or so out of the return
time.  On our networks and our clients' networks this takes 2-3 seconds,
thus the message bar
