- The New C Primer Plus is an excellent book. You should be in good shape
- if you use it. I give it a **** rating, and it's one of the most
- affordable and easiest to find books available. Although the Waite
- Group is part of Sams, they have much higher standards than most
- of the crap Sams produces. The Waite Group is fairly independant
- in terms of what gets put in the books.

- I've never used C on a MacIntosh (I've never used a Mac!), but if it is
- an ANSI C compiler, the code in NCPP should compile fine. I don't know
- if you can write "console mode" C programs on a Mac or not. The
- compiler probably has something like Borland's EasyWin library that
- fakes out a console-like terminal window on the bitmapped interface, so
- you can use stdout, stdin, etc instead of GUI routines.
