You can directly press the computer's power button to shut it down (best to do it while in the root directory), or you can use the software PowerOFF.exe for a software shutdown.

Right, using command-line software like SHUTDOWN or POWEROFF to shut down is very convenient. This is how I shut down under DOS every time.

I remember BIOS interrupt 0X15, it seems it can't shut down the machine, right? I only remember that BIOS has an interrupt for rebooting the machine,

I've seen other people's little games, but I don't know how they were made. I want to learn how to make them. Could you give me some pointers?

A script is just a batch file.

Hehe... did the power supplies on machines that used DOS back then support ATX??? No way, right... you'd still have to flip the switch yourself anyway...

The following is quoted from db2001's post at 2003-2-21 13:15:28:

Does DOS have to be limited to outdated hardware specs?

Anyway, every time I'm under DOS I use the SHUTDOWN command to shut down.
