try:

#include <sys/exceptn.h>
__djgpp_set_ctrl_c(0);

You can then read ctrl+C with the bios or conio functions. If you are 
using stdio you will also have to reopen stdin in binary mode. This 
function doesn't seem to be documented anywhere: does anyone know why 
not? Is there some reason why I shouldn't be using it?

On a related note, I can't get setcbrk() to do anything. My understanding 
is that calling setcbrk(0) should prevent ctrl+break from killing my 
program off, but it doesn't work...
