Well, me for one. K&R was the original reference, but it was not then
and is not now a particularly well written book. If you want a reference,
get the Standard - ("The Annotated ANSI C Standard", by Schildt, Osborne
 McGraw-Hill,
1990, ISBN 0-07-881952-0) - if you want a tutorial, I recommend "Programming in
 ANSI C", by
Stephen Kochan, SAMS 1994, ISBN 0672303396.

Cheers.
