Roy, Just a suggestion from a neophyte, but you could try: Dan Gookin's "C for Dummies." It takes you through bit by bit. By all means, type each program in yourself. This is the only way that you will learn to debug your programs. You can download a copy of the programs for the cases where you become totally frustrated or really foobar. It's a learning process! Also, avoid "Visual C" or trying to learn how to use the Window's APIs until you complete Gookin's book. Trying to learn the Window's APIs at the same time you're trying to learn the "C Programming Language" will really send you off to never-never land. Get a "C Programming Language" that uses the "Windows Command Window," i.e. the old "DOS Window." To get there use: START(lower left); Run; Enter "cmd" in the window, and execute. To leave, type "exit" or use the kill window button. A few good candidates are: LCC-Win32, Pelles, and Ch. Go to "thefreecountry" or Google on "free C Compilers." Note, these are free programs for the download. Hope this helps and the best of luck, which comes from a lot of perseverance. Kocmotex
