C stay's C, in dos as in linux.
The only diff. is the compiler = GNU
(gcc, egcs).With the 'make' and
'makefile'
+/- as a *.bat file in dos for easy
compiling.
Get a good book like 'Programming
Linux', here you'll find the necessary
basics to programming the shell, tc/tcl,
perl, C, etc..
Get a good friendly, Xdebugger like
'PFix86Plus' for dos
and an editer you like. Test severals
before continuing with one.
