Theoretically, it should terminate the program.  On Win2K, when you ^C
certain command-line apps, you get this message:

The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an
application request.

On Unix systems, unless the SIGINT is explictly handled by the
application, it will terminate the running process.

If you had better tools, you could more effectively demonstrate your
