So I need a doc for lammers! Thx for all the help! I'll buy a book, when I get my fee, but till than I found a web page which contain a good tutorial for Pascal, C, C++, Java, etc. It contains an example *.c programs, and the end of every chapter be some exercise, and there are the answer program too. The documentum is very useful, I couldn't write a program under C, but yesterday I readed that document, and I understood many thing. So thanks everybody!

Re: C programing
Although I am far from being a C expert I believe that standard C should not be so problematic. Perhaps you might want to post some specific questions ?

It is rather basic, but easy to use if all you need is a simple plot. As a bonus, it has the same interface for plotting to a window as for plotting to postscript and various other file formats. Plotutils has info documentation. HTH, Eric -- E.L. Meijer ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Eindhoven Univ. of Technology Lab. for Catalysis and Inorg. Chem. (SKA)

[ standard comment: please limit your line length to = 72 characters ] For a good general overview of the standard C library install the glibcdoc debian package, and type `info libc' (or use your favorite info reader). It is quite readable and has a lot of info on programming with ANSI standard C library functions and on typical unix programming stuff like pipes, regular expressions, sockets, process control. If you need to control character input from the keyboard and position the cursor in a terminal window, then install the ncurses development package and read the man page (man ncurses) which is rather elaborate.

Kerninghan/Ritchie do not cover gcc as such - even though most of their examples are take from a UNIX system and some are based on UNIX systems. The C Programming Language is IMHO a book to learn the basics from. It's not the book you want to read to assist you in porting software from one system to another. For special needs regarding Linux systems refer to the library's info-documentation. So long -- Stephan -- Stephan Engelke[EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have been reading the Linux Programming published by WROX press. It is a great set of books from Beginner to MasterClass.
