Re: Herbert Schildt C code from books
I don't know how well-known they were in their day; I only discovered them around a decade ago, while digging into lesser-known progressive-rock groups. Definitely a nice little treat, though - people who gave them crap for sounding a lot like Yes weren't wrong, but they had enough going on to be worth listening to nonetheless.

I rather thought that Starcastle was simply an awesome video game, and it’s one of my favorite Atari 2600 cartridges.

The errors in the code will not be yours. You will learn more by throwing everything written by Herbert Schildt into the recycling and getting some decent books written by somebody who isn't a Dunning-Kruger case. I occasionaly hear him referred to as "Herbert Shit". His books have negative value, except perhaps as firelighters. Here are a couple of critiques of some of his other works which do not pull their punches: http://www.lysator.liu.se/c/schildt.html https://www.seebs.net/c/c_tcn4e.html
Herbert Schildt C code from books
A wild guess that maybe some on the group may have these files. I bought the books from abe books, a few dollar's each. They are (vintage 80-90's) but of course the code floppy disks are not there. Did anybody keep these files? The Art of C The Craft of C C Power Users Guide I hope you say no, because I will probably learn more by keying in the code in the text, and finding my errors. Randy
