I use CPLEX in a C callable library mode.  Years ago when we started on the unix platform we used a shared memory process to allow the operator interrupt with the callback functions.  When we moved to a windows platform it was not obvious how to implement that same functionality and it was disabled.  Is there a resource someone can point out that would give me an idea how to do this operator interrupt/callback function on Windows?

The signal() function is available in Windows, so I would think you could use that in an interrupt
handler; interactive CPLEX in Windows essentially does that when you interrupt the optimization with Ctrl-C.  Also, CPLEX 11 and later provide a CPXsetterminate routine designed to facilitate writing an
interrupt handler.  Take a look at the mipex4.c example that comes with your CPLEX distribution for
an illustration of the usage of that function.
