This posting comes at a very opportune time for me: I am a new C
teacher, and I begin arrays (not pointers yet) next week, with much
trepidation.  Chris, I have read your postings with much interest, but
am sure I don't have your Complete Story of Arrays and Pointers.  If
this is a good time to repost something like that (complete yet
concise), I would be greatly appreciative, and the net might welcome it
as well.  Perhaps you have something prepared to post.  Or, email would
be welcome. 

Thanks.
