Q106562: FIX: CTRL+C Is Not Trapped in GetCharQQ

Article: Q106562
Product(s): Microsoft Fortran Compiler
Version(s): 1.0
Operating System(s): 
Keyword(s): 
Last Modified: 24-MAR-2000

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft FORTRAN PowerStation for MS-DOS, version 1.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

The GetCharQQ function does not terminate the program when a CTRL+C or
CTRL+BREAK is entered at the keyboard. Instead, the ASCII value for that key
sequence is returned (ASCII 03).

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in FORTRAN PowerStation version 1.0
for MS-DOS. This problem has been corrected in FORTRAN PowerStation maintenance
release version 1.0a for MS-DOS.

MORE INFORMATION
================

To reproduce this behavior:

1. Build the TKEYS.FOR sample program with FORTRAN PowerStation. This file is in
  F32\SAMPLES\RUNTIME. No compile options are required.

2. Run TKEYS at the MS-DOS prompt.

3. Press CTRL+C. The following will be displayed:

  ASCII: yes Char: Decimal: 3 Hex: 0003

4. Press CTRL+BREAK. The same values will be displayed.

5. To exit, press:

  q y <space> <space>

FORTRAN PowerStation version 1.0 can be differentiated from the maintenance
release version 1.0a by invoking the linker. Typing "link32 | more" (without the
quotation marks) from \F32\BIN directory will show version 2.8 for FORTRAN
PowerStation version 1.0, and it will show version 1.0f for the maintenance
release version 1.0a.
