I'd like to be able to check for these so I can easily exit programs I write while they're running. I'd like to know a general purpose way of doing this -- I'm not using Lattice, so I can't use its Enable_Abort CTRL-c checking. Many Thanks, -Eric Bazan theboo@picard.cs.wisc.edu -or- bazan@cae.wisc.edu
