Ok I have tried SIGBRK, but I still have the same problem, put
the following into your favorite editor

#include <stdio.h>

void main(void)
{
	while(1)
	puts("I am running on and on and on ....");
}

after compiling it and linking it run it, then press control c and Djgpp
gives you the following

Exiting due to signal SIGINT 
Control-C Pressed at eip=00002d82

so my question I guess my question is "How do I catch SIGINT I thought the
following code would do it, but I am doing something wrong, what is
it??!?!?!


void ctrlbrk(fptr)
   int (*fptr)();
{
   int _signal_(int, int (*fptr)());
   _signal_(SIGINT,fptr);
}
