Hello,

I'am recompiling a piece of UNIX software under DOS using the GCC compiler (ANSI
C source, not C++).
The software catches ctrl-C presses using "signal". However, this does not work
under the MS-DOS port of GCC. The file 'FUNCTIONS.DOC' even mentions that the 
bodies of the functions in signal.h are empty. 

Can signal-handling be used? And, if not, how do I catch the ctrl-C key in another
way?

Thanks,

Duco
