sigaction should be available on any non-antique system (I actually fail to come up with any system that I know it wouldn't work on, but I'd guess Ultrix would be out in the cold). Of course, there may be portability issues with sigaction as well, but I think there are less problems with sigaction than with signal. > If anyone has pointers to portability info, let me know.
