  1. +++Date last modified: 05-Jul-1997
  2.  
  3. Beginning with the July, 1997 release of SNIPPETS, an effort has begun to
  4. enhance SNIPPETS' value as a self-guided learning tool. To this end, this
  5. document attempts to classify all of the major SNIPPETS files into the
  6. following three categories:
  7.  
  8. Category 1.  Suitable for instructional use by C beginners.
  9.  
  10. Category 2.  Suitable for instructional use by intermediate level C
  11.              programmers. This category will include most files which are
  12.              specific to a particular operating environment.
  13.  
  14. Category 3.  Suitable for instructional use by advanced C programmers.
  15.  
  16. All three categories are, of course, useful as drop-in library functions for
  17. programmers of all experience levels. Category 3 functions may sometimes be
  18. difficult for beginners to understand. Where this is the case, additional
  19. documentation in the form of .MAN files have been added to assist in their
  20. use without necessarily understanding how they work. In many cases, such
  21. files are also accompanied by .HOW files which students can use to help them
  22. understand the code and/or underlying algorithms.
  23.  
  24. Students of all levels are also encouraged to read through all of the files
  25. in the FAQ file section as listed in the SNIPPETS.NDX table of contents file.
  26. In many cases, these instructional files will answer many questions before
  27. they come up.
  28.  
  29. I hope this information proves useful to students using SNIPPETS to learn C
  30. and C++. As always, your feedback is always welcome and appreciated!
