I am fairly new to the C language (but experienced with fortran) and looking for guidance with using C on the Amiga. I have K&R as well as a tutorial book (by Schildt) but need more Amiga specific information. I saw the books by Abacus(?) "Amiga C for Beginners" and "Advanced Amiga C" and would like to know if they are worthwhile. Are there new versions of the books that have WB 2.04 examples in them? Thanks

I find that it's generally good to have as many of the books as you can find. Even if a particular book is not very good, it might have that one hard to find example that the others somehow missed. I have the "Amiga C for Advanced Programmers" and also "Inside the Amiga (with C)". "Inside" has quite a number of bugs in it's examples, but they are easy to fix for an experienced programmer. Also, the grey covered ROM Kernal guides are full of examples. When I program, I've got all these books open all over my desk.
