I am looking for the best book to bring someone who knows STANDARD Pascal quite well to Amiga C. I have the Abacus Beginners Book to Amiga C, but I feel it does not cover the basici well enough (or should I look towards a non-system specific C book for that). Should I also pick up the Rom-Kernal manual? While I'm on the subject, what about a compiler for beginners also? Will the public domain compilers suffice for now? I don't really care which is the "best" (or atleast for now), just one that gets the job done. -=*> Steve Krulewitz -------------------- UUNET!tronsbox!amiglynx!stevek <*=-

It's a reasonably decent self-tutorial on C. In the realm of compilers, you should definitely take a look at DICE (I think it stands for Dillon's Integrated C Environment, but I'm not positive about that). If you're connected to the Internet, it's available for anonymous FTP from uunet.uu.net. If you're not on the Internet, it can be had by acquiring the Fred Fish Disk #443.
