iOS : restarting the Omnis app

[Dan Horner]

Yes Andy,

I will send you a copy as soon as I get one. Today if possible tomorrow at
the latest. It is named SysPath. I wrote it a long time ago so it is well
field tested. It returns the path to the Windows System Directory or the
System32 Directory. SysPath also provides the ability to set the system
time, and to shutdown or restart the computer.
Regards,
Dan
