Hard to say under DOS...
Usually my UNIX programs dump the current variables to a file
before stopping when they catch a SIGINT, write a temporary
result file when they get SIGHUP and keep on computing,
and such. Under DOS, the use coming to my mind is
limited (might be handy a DOS box, though), but that may just be
a momentary lapse of fantasy.
