I need to port to the Amiga a Unix program which catches a signal.
I gather from the RKM that the closest counterpart to this in the Amiga
Exec is to give your task an Exception Handler and call the function
SetExcept(). It sounds furthermore like I will need at least an interface
written in assembler, and I will need to pass on unused signal bits to any
handler which already happens to be out there. This could get tricky :-)
Has anyone tried to do this who could give some hints, or maybe even
point me to a sample program which uses this?
