Barnes The second edition of "The C Programming Language" by Kernighan and Richie is a good place to start learning the C programming language. If you don't want to spend money on a book, just google on "C tutorial" and you'll find some free stuff to get started. You might also want to download Bloodshed Software Dev-C++ for a PC programming environment that's perhaps easier to debug in than your target might be. >Best regards, Spehro Pefhany --"it's the network..."
