I asked around and found there to be general interest in having one but no concrete recommendations. The intended audience if for skilled programmers who are to cooperate on a large program together and who would like to establish reasonable rules of programming style. Obviously, broader recommendations regarding system development won't hurt but the emphasis should be on C rather than on algorithms. There is no need for books giving C syntax or introductory programming books unless they emphasize style in a formal and reasoned way. If this has appeared before I'd appreciate receiving a digest of the responses. If people want to know what I find out please let me know and I'll forward to you the responses I receive. Thanks in advance, Dan
