A recent conversation with Kashtan yielded a very simple solution to current
inability to interrupt programs started from a shell under Eunice.  In the
shell, if you start a program, say cat, and tried to stop it with a ^Y, it
would kill the shell, not the program.  Two ^C's would do the same thing.
The solution, although not very elegant is to wire in a SIGINT trap to each
and every program.  This can be done by inserting a call to signal in the
crt0.mar module, then replacing it in libc.olb.  Add the following lines to
crt0.mar just before the line:  calls	#3,G^Main
	pushl	#Exit	; Address of Exit routine
	pushl	#2	; Hardwired define value for SIGINT
	calls	#2,G^Signal	; signal(SIGINT,exit)

Reassemble crt0.mar and replace it in libc.  You might want to make a backup
of libc before you replace it, just in case.

Now, any program that is linked, has the ^C trap builtin, if invoked from
the Cshell, a ^C will stop the running program (provided it has been relinked)
and return control to the Cshell.

p.s.  I mailed a list of changes to make 4bsd Vi work under Eunice to all
those who had requested it, anybody that asked for it and didn't get it should
let me know.
