I don't have MSC but I know how to do what you want under TurboC. TurboC
provides 3 functions for dealing with the stuff.
	1)setbrk(1);	/* 1=> ^C is checked 0=> don't check ^C */
	2)ctrlbrk(func);	/* func is called when ^C is detected */
	3)int func() { /* cleanup */ return 0; }	  
		/* func performs cleaning up actions and DOS aborts the
		program if func returns 0 */

Hope this helps. I suppose that you should be able to get something
equivalent in MSC :-). I know that if you don't you can write up a
couple of routines that do it. I forget which but there are some DOS
services which are exactly the equvalent of the above.
