Re: [Vnc2swf-users] Re: assertion error problem

[<db...@br...>]

vnc2swf can handle the control-c manually. In python it would look like:

import signal
stop =3D 0
def INThandler(signum, frame):
      stop =3D 1
prevsighandler =3D signal.signal(signal.SIGINT, INThandler)

In this manner you can control when the program stops when a control-c is
encountered (or prevent it from stopping at all).
