THank > you. There aren't any web sites devoted to teaching C or C++; such would require a tremendous amount of work. Most web sites and other net resources are set up along the lines of advice and tutorials about specific aspects of the language. Books and classes are still the best teaching tools. My personal favorite book is _The New C Primer Plus, 2nd edition_, by the Waite Group, ISBN 0-672-30319-1. You may need to look around a bit to find it; there is also a C++ version. Another good one is Kernighan and Ritchie's _The C Programming Language_. I don't know the latest edition, but there's a C++ version as well. There is a set of newsgroups devoted to general programming issues in C and C++: comp.lang.c, comp.lang.c.moderated, comp.lang.c++, and comp.lang.c++.moderated. These newsgroups are for general questions and advice. We prefer that you ask only DJGPP-specific questions on this newsgroup. hth -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- | John M.
