texts change from consideration of just a reference for commands to a
gcc tutorial as well, but I�ll read O�Reilly first.
My habit is to write old-fashioned so I need references as hard
copies. Once I�m more confident with computer languages and commands
under Linux using books, then a more intuitive approach to programming
and editing should follow directly on the computer.
If a person has an alternative to Fishpond.co.nz for O�Reilly Linux
in a Nutshell, 4th Ed., then perhaps they�d like to drop me a line.
My thanks to all who have so far contributed to this subject.
Cheers,

For C, there's only one book you need, IMO. The C programming language,
by Kernigan and Ritchie, ISBN 0-13-110362-8. You can learn the language
from it, and it's a really good text book from then on.
