Okay. I'm tired of rebooting my Amiga every 15 or 20 minutes. I'm working on a program that really *needs* to call a routine called "cleanup" on exit. But the program doesn't work real good yet, and I end up ctrl-C-ing out of all my debug statements once I see what's going on. So here I am all set to add a call to the UNIX signal() function, but I see that the Amiga version looks a lot more like the kill() function. And Rob Peck's book doesn't explan this. Nor do I have the "exec" RKM. So, can I tell the Amiga to call cleanup() on ctrl-C, then ignore the possibility afterwards? (cleanup calls exit...) Under unix, I would just do: signal(SIGINT, cleanup); signal(SIGQUIT, cleanup); (or whatever the arg order is). I suspect this would fall under "exception processing" which Rob tells us he isn't going to tell us anything. If this is possible, does anyone have a code fragment I could use? -Joe -- Life is a cabaret (old chum).

As far as I know (and I might have used it in the past, but don't recall
now) signal() and SIGINT are supported by both Manx and Lattice, and should
work exactly for what you want to do.
