[comp.lang.c] IBM PC based tutorial on C

plantz@manta.NOSC.MIL (Glen W. Plantz) (12/19/89)

Could anyone recommend a good PC-based tutorial for learning C? I
know that there are public domain programs along this line, but I don't
know any specifics.  Thanks in advance.

I found "C Tutor" by Gordon Dodrill of Coronado Enterprises to be a good
introduction.  It is public domain, available through PC-SIG's distribution
channels.  It expects that you know the fundamentals of programming in 
general (although no background in C).  It has a pretty well-written
manual and many example programs.  I think it was PC-SIG disks 578 & 579.
