- I thknk Ctrl-C trapping is available in recent versions of DJGPP,
- though I'm not sure what your options are, it doesn't seem to be
- documented anywhere (hint!).
-
- You can always solve your problem, however by simply reading the
- keyboard each time you would have polled your flag and checking for
- control-C. If you can't process all input at this time then you can
- copy the characters you read into a buffer and get them out later
- (thus implementing enhanced type-ahead at the same time).
