Sorry to post this here, but I am have not been able to get mail to return to Mark Schuldy. Site njin complains that it doesn't know gollum and reversing the original path complains too. ---------------------------------------------------------------- uupsi!njin!gollum.mps.ohio-state.edu!schuldy (Mark) writes: > > I have never heard of the reference you cited. Can you give > me a publisher, or tell me more about it? Merely the fact "The C Programmers Handbook", M.I. Bolsky, Systems Training Center, AT&T Bell Laboratories. Prentice-Hall, 1985. ISBN 0-13-110073-4. This is a yellow wire-bound book. It is a good reminder reference, but not really a 'teach-me' C book. It covers some of the normal library functions, and has a section on 'how to be portable'. It is definitely pre-ANSI. I use it generally when I an writing code and need to get the order of parameters to fread right. It is heavily indexed to make finding things quick, and really brief so it doesn't take 5 minutes to read what you are looking up. There is a companion "UNIX Handbook". It is not as useful to me, as I am a BSD UNIX user, and the book is (AT&T) SystemV. <> "Aneth! That's a charming place!"
