I think that many usergroups need a book or diskette, that can be printed out.
This should come with say PDC, or ZCC, and include a functional library, with
the Commodore Includes.

It has to start with some very basic "C" programming concepts. and work its way
into the Amiga specific area.  It also has to be very inexpensive, or It won't
be used.  It should avoid Advanced programming, but refer readers to the 
appropriate places to look for such information.  I'm trying to put something 
like this together for my own usergroup, which doesn't meet again til the fall.

I think that the members, want to learn "C", but fear its complexity.  They
aren't willing to spend $150, to find out they can't hack it.  Its difficult
to get them to part with $20 membership..........
