I am looking for the best book to bring someone who knows STANDARD Pascal
quite well to Amiga C.  I have the Abacus Beginners Book to Amiga C, but I
feel it does not cover the basici well enough (or should I look towards a
non-system specific C book for that).  Should I also pick up the Rom-Kernal
manual?

While I'm on the subject, what about a compiler for beginners also?  Will the
public domain compilers suffice for now?  I don't really care which is the
"best" (or atleast for now), just one that gets the job done.
