Turning computer off

[Jhd.Honza]

Hi in new forum!

I would like to turn the computer off by QuickBasic (usable by ATX). Do you think you can't do it as simple as restart by OUT???

For x = 1 to 2000
Out x, 255
next x


guaranteed to crash the computer. (It was an accident. I swear.) What do you mean by turn the computer off? On my system you have to push the button (but I've only done it once, when I got the computer :)) That must be what ATX does. It automatically turns it off? I don't know. sorry.

How easy do you think is to use APM under DOS?
