A while back I posted asking for advice on a good C text, and since
I promised to post a summary of the results, here goes:


1. The C Programming Language - (Kernighan & Ritchie)
   --------------------------

2. MicroSoft C Programming for the IBM-PC - (Robert LaFore & The Waite Group)
   --------------------------------------

3. MicroSoft C Bible - (Barbakatiti)  
   -----------------                  

4. C: The Complete Reference - (Herbert Schildt)   ISBN 0-07-881263-1
   -------------------------

5. First Book on C - (Kelly & Pohl)
   ---------------

This represents the order (by numbers of proponents!) of the five texts
that I recieved votes for.  This is all the information that I got...no 
other claims made!!!!
