That is the exact opposite of me. I develop under windows in the
awesome development environment, and run them on several unix machines.
Which I peak in on with vnc.
I never use the development environment under *nix, which is, um, less awesome. [1]

You do know that in windows it is Control-Break, not control-C right?
I assume you meant that. I find that it often stops when you ask it to,
under windows. However a tight loop will ignore you. Perhaps a
wait command deep in the loop, with the smalles wait possible would help
[in a debuggin situation].
A print command almost always catches a break. And of course, the actual
solution in windows is to put a stop command at the offending place, before
the function call or so, and step into it.

Cheers,
