I'm not sure it *better*, but a hardware reset of a 8086 or 8088
is followed by execution at FFFF:0000. On *many* machines a
program which does a far jump to that location will give the
effect of a power-on boot, which clears some problems which a
DOS boot doesn't. There may be hardware which needs to be reset,
so try this before you form an opinion.
