This program is a small 5 byte com file that will reboot a DOS system.
Use BOOT when running batch files that may need to have an unattended reboot of the system.
It is useful when using modpath to modify the autoexec.bat file and then reboot the system immediately to activate any changes in the file.
The boot.com program will do a cold boot on most systems.
The program does a direct memory location call to the ROM bios section of memory responsible for cold booting the system. If the ROM manufacturer has altered the standard boot address, the program may not work.
The only command necessary is the program name:
C:> boot
None
