No, but after knowing to program in C, you might want to know how your program is encoded, and yes, I know how object files are created (not only with C, by the way). Under your comparison, C is LaTeX, and an object file is TeX (I don't care about the dvi right now). > TeX is well documented - read the documentation. > Wikipedia would be one way to start. As I said, I will. However, I find the translation from C to object much easier: the number of segments in an object files roughly compares to the number of functions contained in the original source code. It seems that LaTeX commands are much more complex than I've thought.
