WINEXIT  Ver 1.00

WinExit is a quick and dirty method of providing multiple methods of exiting 
Windows.  Exit methods provided are:

   1) Exit Windows and return to Dos.
   
   2) Restart Windows.  Allows for immediate restart of Windows when changes 
   are made to either video modes or system files.
   
   3) Run Dos program.  This allows for execution of those nasty Dos programs 
   that should not be run while Windows is running such as CHKDSK.  The method 
   exits Windows, runs the program, then immediately restarts Windows when the
   Dos program is complete.
   
   4) Reboot PC.  Provides a quick means of closing Windows and rebooting the 
   PC all in one mouse-click.  Excellent when changes have been made to the 
   AUTOEXEC or CONFIG system files.

Each one of the methods above will display a prompt prior to performing 
execution.  These prompts can be disabled by selecting the Prompts button 
on the main dialog box.  Each individual method can have prompting disabled 
or enabled.

All settings (prompting, exit method, the Dos program and its associated 
parameters) are saved into an file called WINEXIT.INI.  These setting are 
recalled the next time WinExit and are then used as program defaults.

WinExit also handles command-line options to perform the various methods of 
exiting Windows.  This allows for separate icons to be setup to perform the 
method of exit you want.  Each icon can control exit method, prompting and 
Dos program to run along with any additional parameters for the Dos program.  All command-line 
options override any defaults set in the WINEXIT.INI file.  Command-line 
options are as follows:

   WinExit -{Exit Method} [-Ask={yn}] [-Prog={Name}] [-Parms='{Prms}']

   {Exit Method}  This option defines the method of exit:
   
                        Exit
                        Restart
                        RunDos
                        Reboot

   Ask={yn}       Selects whether or not to prompt before exit
   
   Prog={Name}    Supplies WinExit with the name fo the Dos program to be run 
                  and may optionally contain the Drive and Path if not in the 
                  current directory or in the Dos Path.  The program extension 
                  (.exe, .com or .bat) must be supplied.
                  
   Parms='{Prms}' Any additional parameters to pass to the Dos program.  These 
                  parameters must be enclosed in either single or double 
                  quotes and must be in the order the Dos program expects 
                  them.
                  
                  
   Examples:      WinExit -Exit -Ask=n
   
                     Exits Windows without prompting
                  
                  WinExit -RunDos -Ask=n -Prog=chkdsk.exe -Parms='/F'
                  
                     Exits Windows, runs 'chkdsk.exe /f' and restarts Windows
                     without prompting
                     
                  WinExit -Reboot -Ask=y
                  
                     Prompts before exiting Windows and rebooting.
