Actually, what's the deal with signal handling in general on the ST when using C? It doesn't seem as if TOS etc. allow functions of the nature of SIGNAL() to be implemented easily, or at least not with the functionality in, say, BSD: the discussions re. trapping ^C's, or Moshe Braner's attempts to set up the resident assassin seem to indicate that. This is something I'd very much like to see some discussion on, I'm sure many others would too. Anyone knowledgeable care to start it off? -ravi
