You'll probably find "The C Programming Language", by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie, edition (2), a very nice book. It's old now, and it is not a book that is easy to use as a tutorial, but it is written by the same people who wrote the language, so they probably know better than a 'teach you that in 24 hours' book. -giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
