Thanks to squid!david for posting the ssignal()/gsignal()/ctrlbrk() excerpts from the Norton guide. They are fairly accurate copies of the entries in my TurboC Reference Guide, missing only the careful formatting. I assume that Norton has licensed his material, since I wouldn't expect him to engage in plagiarism. Since I do have the manual, and have limited memory for TSR's that are less convenient than books anyway, I'll be sure to save my money for more useful software. -- bob,mon (bobmon@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu) "`This must be deep' means `I can recognize all these words individually, but dam' if I can make any sense out of the order in which they currently appear....'" - Gil Scott Herron

Sorry Bob, but I gotta flame you on this one. Usually you're on track, but
you missed the ball here. With QuikHelp (recently posted to c.b.i.p) and the
TC help file, I can get a reference within about two tenths of a second. In
that much time I can barely pick a book out of the lineup, much less open it.

In >that much time I can barely pick a book out of the lineup, much less open it. (jeez, hardly even a suntan...:-) Well, I was getting a little shirty there. My real objection to online help / preference for books is that I can have the information "displayed" simultaneously with the screen I'm working on. Even if I had the resources to support multiple windows, etc., I still wouldn't have as much display area -- just that one screen to show everything. Now if I could get a multiple SCREEN machine... and if one of them could fit comfortably in my lap.... -- bob,mon (bobmon@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu) "`This must be deep' means `I can recognize all these words individually, but dam' if I can make any sense out of the order in which they currently appear....'" - Gil Scott Herron
