Hi Richard,

If you have ansi C installed on your system, go to "/opt/ansic/html/guide/C" and you'll see some html files over here. Copy these files to your windows workstation and then use the browser to open the index file and you have the ansi c to explore. You can also use the explorer on your ux box if you have netscape / ie installed on that.

Hope this helps.

I can recommend 2 books ..
1) A Book On C (Al Kelley & Ira Pohl)
2) C Programming Language (Brian Kernighan & Dennis Ritchie)
The first one is excellent for beginners (like me) ..

Richard:

For a novice, 'C for Dummies' is fairly good or you could purchase 'C++ for Dummies'. The C++ version includes a section on ANSI/C as a building block for C++. There are also 'Visual C/C++ for Dummies' - I do not recommend them.

Of course, any real C programmer will have to have Kernighan and Ritchie's 'C Programming Language' but make sure that you get the 2nd edition which includes ANSI C.

Hi Richard,

the second book would then be the "The ANSI C standard library" by P.J.Plauger, as that books explains how the that library SHOULD be used...

FWIW,
