TANVIR - if you are reading this, most of us read all the groups, so try & keep to the subject ;) BTW I started programing with D Alcocks "Illustrated Basic" on a PET, which is of course of no relevence whatsoever. The first C book I read was titled "A Book on C"- big friendly letters on the front, you can't miss it. The book I use for reference these days is "C A Refernce Manual" by S P Harbison & Guy L Steele - tho it does tend to stay on the shelf. TANVIR - If you want to work through the examples in your C book then I suggest you get hold of a compiler for the PC first. This will support the scanf() function, & get you used to how C works. otherwise dive in at the deep end & just use the C book as a reference, whilst reading through all the example code thats around. cheers Nick (S)
