Erik,
When are you going to sign the copy of the book I learned C from?

And the other advice from Erik on this list about learning C.
Get a book that is not specific to an OS or architecture.
Actually, that'd make a good dedication ;-)

Hi Hal,
My son's library has the fourth edition with co-authors, Peter Aitken
and Bradley L. Jones.
In that edition Eric is not included as co-author yet. But the

says he is.
I had a quick look at the fourth edition and I noticed that the examples says
word-size is 2 bytes
meaning this fourth edition was written with 16-bit PCs as the test platform.
I'm just wondering if the latest edition has examples that were modified for
32-bit PCs.
Thanks.
