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

Now, if you just want to suspend the program, you can use your terminal suspend feature (Ctrl-Z generally) to suspend the whole process Fr?d?ric

The default action is to terminate the process. What does your program do when its run under Windows and you type Control-C? Martin

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. Paul
