A new verion by the same author, "Programming in ANSI C", is out.  It
IS much better then trying to learn via K&R.  There are also some C
tutorials that run under DOS that are available from various archives.
I like the C-tutor package though it is a bit dated and leaves some
holes.  I have heard that teach-c is also good.

I believe both are archived at simtel20 and can be retrieved in a 
variety of ways.
