Greetings.  I am new to Info-C, as I am to the language itself.  I am still
in the process of feeling my way around the language, as I have only written
one 'real' program in C so far, a sort of search-and-replace program.

My first question is, are there any books that are particularly good for
a beginner??  I have K&R as a reference, but a tutorial for the novice it
most emphatically is NOT.

My second question is, are there any archives of C source code accessible
from BITnet that I could obtain samples from for study??

And my last question is, does anyone have ideas for little'do nothing'
programs that I can tackle as challenges to force me to learn the
language?  I have a fairly large project in mind for the future, but
trying it now would be extremely frustrating and a waste of time, I am
sure.

In case it is of interest, I am using Pro-MC from Misosys with the Pro-MRAS
Assembly Compiler on a 128k Tandy Model 4P.
