It's a modern style book on the subject, starting out with ANSI style programming and giving caveats about what you might see when viewing or converting to the more primitive dialects. Much of the stuff in this book is not very pertinent to me right now, because I'm using an Apple II GS with Orca/C and the book is mainly IBM-style oriented. But the ANSI standard parts of the language are the same for either. -- Avery Ray Colter {apple|claris}!netcom!avery {decwrl|mips|sgi}!btr!elfcat (415) 839-4567 "I feel love has got to come on and I want it: Something big and lovely!" - The B-52s, "Channel Z"
