wine users - Jul 2009 - How to avoid control-c killing the open program?

Dear All,

When I am running a program under Wine and I press Control-C, the running
program is killed. However, this behavior is not always the desired one. In
truth, imagine that the program is doing some calculations that you want to
interrupt; if one presses Control-C, the program is killed, but all one wanted
was to interrupt the calculations and NOT killing the program. Is there some
workaround?

Thanks in advance,

Paul

Well, if the program itself doesn't provide a way to cancel a
calculation, I don't see what wine could do... it doesn't (and
shouldn't) have intimate knowledge of every application...
Now, if you just want to suspend the program, you can use your
terminal suspend feature (Ctrl-Z generally) to suspend the whole
process

A Linux/UNIX program can catch Control-C and take any action it likes,
but it must be written to do that. The default action is to terminate
the process.

What does your program do when its run under Windows and you type
Control-C?

Thanks to both answers. 

On Windows, when I press Control-C the calculations of the program are
interrupted, but the program is not killed. That is, the key sequence to
interrupt calculations is Control-C. I am talking about a program that runs in a
console.

Thanks, Martin, for your reply. I have tried with Win98 emulation, but no
progress.
