Actually, Kernighan & Ritchie have a second edition of their book, published in 1988, which corresponds to ANSI C. It might not be the most recently published book, but it's far from "of little use these days", and is still very relevant. (if you think 1988 is old, remember that the first edition of their book was published in 1978). And the second edition is less "small" than the first edition. Harbison & Steele's book, "C Reference Manual" is considered by many to be a better book and with more details about the standard. And of course, there is the text of the standard itself, which ISO probably charge $1000 (or something similarly outrageous) but if you're into illegal copying probably can be found and copied in electronic format. -- Nadav Har'El | Tuesday, Mar 25 2003, 21 Adar II 5763 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |Unlike Microsoft, a restaurant will give http://nadav.harel.org.il |me food for free if I find a bug in it! ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
