Ok Eli here is the post you asked for explaining how to call this ctrlbrk
function (including the change to "signal")

 #include <stdio.h>

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

 void teminate(void)
 {
	puts("I am doing clean up and exiting because you hit Contro-C");
	exit(0);
 }

 int main()
 {
	ctrlbrk(terminate); // when ^c is hit call the cleanup funtion
	while (1)
		puts("I am running on and on and on and on!");
 }

 The explaination is simple the program should do the while loop until you
hit ^C in which case it will call the function "terminate", any help
would be appreciated since I have not yet tried the change to "signal" yet
I will go see if that helps at all.
