The most PORTABLE way to do it (and it works well too) is to use the
signal() function in the standard library, like so:

---------------------------------------
#include <signal.h>

void ctrlctrap(i)
int i;
{
signal(SIGINT, ctrlctrap);  /* make sure next ctrl-break comes back here */
}


void main()
{
signal(SIGINT, ctrlctrap);  /* activate ctrl-c/ctrl-break trap handler */

etc....
--------------------------------------

Every time ctrl-c or ctrl break is pressed, the funtion ctrlctrap() will
be invoked, and will reset the pointer for the next ctrl-c to call
ctrlctrap() again.

This has worked on every ANSI compiler I have tried it on (Lattice,
Microsoft, unix compilers, etc.)
