Rodney;

  C compiler depends on which machine you have.  For the CoCo, there's only the
Tandy C compiler for about $100.  There used to be others at a substantially
higher price, but I'm not sure if they're still available.

  For reference materials, there's a file in (I think) Lib 1 called CTUTOR.AR
which has many, many source code examples and some explanatory text. There's
also 'C Primer+' by the Waite Group (a SAMS book) which should be available at
any B. Dalton's or Waldenbooks.  Easy reading and very helpful, although a bit
shy on some examples. Another one that I've found helpful is 'ABC  A  Book on
C', but it's at work and I don't remember the author's name.

  For specific questions, be sure to ask here... there's a several hundred
years of experience available right here (I'm not one of them tho!  ;-) ).

 ...Jim
