Bob,
You're very welcome. If you're refering to Gehani, I take it you found
the tutorial. Your question inspired me to put a few thoughts together.
I picked up Gehani at Walden Books,or perhaps B. Daltons, several years
ago. It cost around $20. I'm by no means an authority on C texts. There are
many out there and I'm sure others might serve as well. All I have to compare
Gehani to is Purdum, which I bought back in 84 when I first got C for the COCO.
I can't recomend Purdum at all, I think his presentation is very unorganized
and sloppy. I also have THE C PROGRAMMERS HANDBOOK by Thom Hogan which is very
useful as a quick reference on questions such as "what the heck is the bitwise
exclusive or operator?" It is not and does not purport to be a primer on how
to program in C however.
