- After a bit of debugging I came to realization today that the
- normal UNIX-like signal() handling mechanism does not function under
- Windows 3.1. In particular, it does not function when using Watcom C/386
- with their Windows 32-bit supervisor. A quick search through my Windows
- books turned up nothing and none of the FAQs mentioned exception handling.
- So, how may I intercept a signal in Windows, in particular a floating
- point exception?
