- Reading the C FAQ is just a prerequisite for posting here, but I HIGHLY
- recommend reading it anyway. It's a fine document, now also expanded into a
- book. (Soon to be a major motion picture?)

- As far as required reading, Kernighan & Ritchie are the bible. If you're just
- starting, they'll take you a long, long way. The ANSI standard isn't
- something I could just sit down and read at bedtime.
- Let's just say the plot and characterization are somewhat dry...
