Introductory C Textbook

[Don Stanwyck]

I have been teaching UNIX(tm) at the community college level for awhile,
but this fall have been requested to teach C as UNIX isn't being offered.
While I work with C in my every-day work, I have never had to try to find
a good textbook for teaching C.

The Students:  Community College (2 year), offers AS in DP, most courses
		centered on COBOL on IBM mainframes/minis.  Also expect
		a few local area professionals with computer background
		(again, probably COBOL, probably IBM).  Example of range:
		My summer UNIX course had both a high school student and
		a person with a PhD in Math and CS, and those inbetween
		were mechanics looking to change jobs through BSCS with
		MBA wondering what all the fuss about UNIX was.

The Course:  Introduction to C, a special topics course offered by the DP
		Department.  Taught on IBM-PCs or DEC-RSTS mini (not yet
		determined.)  Topics to be covered:
			- what is C
			- good for what (as compared to COBOL, etc.)
			- C programming
			- some data structure and recursion (1 lecture between
				the two)
			- some programming assignments.
		3 semester credit hour course. (Meets once a week for 3 hours)

Wanted:
	- Textbook recommendations
	- Programming assignment recommendations (Serious only, please)
	- ideas on presentation of COBOL vs C, RPG-II vs C, etc.
	- Suggestions on general teaching of C

Thanx lotz, az i no u will all b very helpfull.
