The following code may interest someone - it changes the
CTRL-BREAK interrupt vector so that if the user presses
CTRL-BREAK the machine reboots.  Note that this doesn't
affect CTRl-C, just CTRL-BREAK.  It won't work in the
environment either, just in standalone .EXE's.

Hope someone finds this useful.
