The majority of C Language programs use pointers. This course teaches the techniques for working with pointers and functions and performing input /output functions. It covers retrieving input from the keyboard, the getch( ) function, the fundamentals of performing multiple character input, and using scanf( ) to read character strings from the keyboard. Two C library functions are described that enable a program to transfer between one storage location and another, and reformat the location in the process. Also covered is writing C code to the standard DOS printer and how writing to a printer differs from writing to a monitor. This course is not written to a specific version. http://learn.serebra.com?s=52&i=wt2170&m=4004 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- LEAD STORY V5R2 DRIVES DOWN ADMIN COSTS | News: Insider Weekly IBM isn't giving a lot of details about V5R2, but it does say that the upgrades are geared toward simplifying enterprise management. >> CLICK here for story... http://www.the400group.com/aiwweb/free/04-2202.html MORE INFORMATION: Check out these Search400 Best Web Links on IBM Offerings. http://search400.techtarget.com/bestWebLinks/0,289521,sid3_tax28695 1,00.html And read these Best Web Links for information on OS/400. http://search400.techtarget.com/bestWebLinks/0,289521,sid3_tax28686 5,00.html =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- OTHER STORIES In addition to the headlines below, others are available on our news page. >> Full Stories: http://search400.techtarget.com/news/0,289141,sid3,00.html IBM TALKS UP OS/400 V5R2 AT COMMON | News: The Four Hundred V5R2 is a still a big secret, but some details are beginning to leak out.

A rare Apple I computer has fallen from the tree and is going on the auction block. A long time ago in a garage far, far away, Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs handcrafted some 200 of the no-frills machines. Apple I turned into the core of Apple Computer and essentially helped launch the company and the PC revolution. There are only about 50 of these historic machines in existence today, so hardcore Apple fans will have to do more than bob to get this one. It's expected to go for $15,000 to $20,000.
