I have seen working a program called ABORT. It is a TSR which exits the current
program and returns to DOS. As far as I know, it works pretty well and does not
require much memory, but I do not know whether it works with C. It is a share-
ware or a public domain and should be on Simtel. Anyway, it is worth to try.
