Due to a mistake, I ran a program containing
a tight loop. This simple program did not explicitly define
or call any signal functions.

I could not interrupt the program using Ctrl-C.

Is this to be expected? Is there a way to program
or compile in order to make sure that the program
is always interruptable somehow?

(djgpp 2.95)

Can someone suggest an example C program
which does things the right way?

Please can you refer me to the appropriate
web resources if this is something I need to read first.
I have read the info documentation of the signal
function.

Cordially
Tim
