I have a friend who wants to learn C, so I recommended the book I learned from, The C Programming Language by Kernighan and Ritchie. However, he is finding it a little obtuse. He is a programmer, so no kiddie C books please, but if anyone knows of a good tutorial on C, I would appreciate it if you would recommend it. - Thanks, Tim Iverson. iverson@cory.BERKELEY.EDU iverson@cory.UUCP

The book I learned from is: Programming in C by Stephen G. Kochan published by Hayden Book Company, Rochelle Park, New Jersey, ISBN 0-8104-6261-3. I found the examples in the book quite straight forward and easy to follow. The sections on I/O and memory allocation are a bit skimpy, but for a first books it is very good.
