Why not? I long ago got into the habit of running "fdapm poweroff" to shutdown. Actually, I aliased it to "halt". (One of my computers, my old Lenovo desktop, does actually support APM. But none of the others do.) _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
