This is of course highly implementation dependent. You
should look at your compiler documentation. If you search
for Ctrl-C in the secret GNAT archives (namely the GNAT
Reference manual :-) you will find a paragraph on the
Unreserve_All_Interrupts pragma, which is specifically
there to let a programmer handle the Ctrl-C (and possibly
other similar) interrupts.

So this completely solves the problem with GNAT. If you are
using some other compiler, go look in their documentation
and hopefully you will find they have done something
similar. If not, you will be on your own and have to do
non-Ada fiddling.

Documentation is useful stuff, try it some time :-)
