 LE>> There are a couple of commonly used, but VERY problematic

 LE>> to jump to FFFF:0000h.
 LE>> The only safe way is to push a reset command into the
 LE>> keyboard controller (which will only work on AT machines).
 DN> Neither method is completely safe as soon as 386+ memory mangers come into
 DN> the picture. One (and the only reliable) method which works under DV/QEMM
 DN> is to put an 'R 'into the keyboard controller than force an exception

Aha - ingenious, yes - but the only machine I use which has even a smell of
DesqView is my BBS.
