I found "C Tutor" by Gordon Dodrill of Coronado Enterprises to be a good
introduction.  It is public domain, available through PC-SIG's distribution
channels.  It expects that you know the fundamentals of programming in 
general (although no background in C).  It has a pretty well-written
manual and many example programs.  I think it was PC-SIG disks 578 & 579.
