I have two book on C, one on the basics of the language and the other covers
library functions and additions that can be made. Both are by Que
Publishing (C Programmers Guide and the C Programmers Library).
Are there any good C books for intermediate to advanced programmers?

I am tempted to say that there is only one C book that has a right to exist, namely K&R. But I'll be mellow instead. The reason I'm inclined that way is the profusion of C/UNIX books which are aimed at tyros. In fact, the computer sexion of many bookstores is rather dismal, being composed mainly of `BASIC for the Trash-80' or `How to use Visicalc under CP/M' type of stuff. Gimme `Threaded Interpreted Languages' or Knuth, you know, computer *science* instead of `computers for the masses'. Why do it again when the definitive version was done by K&R? Oh yeah, for the money of course! jim cottrell@nbs */ ------
