I have seen a few incomplete references to "A Book On C". Here is the
complete one:
Title: A Book On C
Subtitle: An Introduction To Programming In C
Authors: Al Kelly and Ira Pohl
Copyright: 1984
Publisher: The Benjamin/Cummings Publishing Company, Inc., 2727 Sand Hill Road,
Menlo Park, CA 94025
ISBN: 0-8053-6860-4
Comments: An excellent book which, along with K&R, made learning the C
language fun and easy. I had the pleasure of taking Numerical
Methods from Al Kelly while I was at UCSC, and he is an great
instructor. His talent for making things clear comes through
in this book. Over the years I have lent the book to co-workers
who wanted to learn C, and often they liked it enough to buy their
own copy. The book was written before any of this ANSI
nonsense (:-) so there is nothing about pragma's or prototyping.
I know nothing about a new edition coming out that would include
the new "standard" features; they may be waiting for ANSI to make
up their collective minds.
