John, re <F0 0F C7 C8> Pentium bug using editor.

This code is not perfect because it has no entry/exit code. Therefore, even on good processors, it will lock-up under plain DOS. This may lead to some false conclusions among illiterate part of PC user (like those who "rules" their computers:-)). However, on a good processor under DOS this program can be terminated by "soft reset" while on Pentuums you need to "hard reset" or power the PC down.

Regards,

Ali
