COLDWARM.COM returns ERRORLEVEL of 0 if the machine was cold-booted
or 1 if it was warm-booted.  A batch file can then be used to take
different actions accordingly.  Here is an example: (Remember that
under straight DOS, errorlevel comparison is >=, not just =.)

	@echo off
	coldwarm
	if errorlevel 1 goto warm
	echo cold
	goto end
	:warm
	echo warm
	:end

When the computer is cold-booted, the memory test initializes memory
locations to be 0.  When you press CTRL-ALT-DEL to warm-boot the
machine, a number is written to the RESET WORD location (see assembly
code) first so that memory test can be bypassed.  That number is
different from machine to machine, depending on the BIOS, so I am only
checking if the 16-bit RESET WORD is 0.  Actually, I wrote this because
another program failed to work on my computer.

Thanks to the people who provided me with information on the RESET WORD.
Feel free to do whatever you want with this program.  If you would
like to send me donations, I can be contacted at the following email
