?h l L I have been learning C with "Learn C Now" by Microsoft Press. Can you suggest a good next text? Specifically, I would like to know more a about structures, pointers, file handling, and graphics.

David, If you want to stick with QuickC, try Kent Porter's "Stretching QuickC." He has another book called "Stretching Turbo C." Both cover the same material but with the features of the particular compiler. Both are published by Brady Books and are in the stores now. Kent's graphics stuff is very good and interesting as well.

Can anyone help me locate some Netbios C code. I'm starting into a project and need some help with how it works in C. I have the Oct 89 article from DDJ but it's in pascal and I'd really like C. Books are ok too, I don't want to have to buy any library(s) unless I can get source for not a lot of money. ……..Kevin

Kevin, Try "C Programmer's Guide to NetBIOS," W. David Schwaderer, 1988, Howard W. Sams & Company. It includes a lot of C code that compiles with Microsoft C 5.0. Al Stevens

Kevin, there's a book entitled "C Programmer's Guide to NetBios" by David Schwaderer published by Howard W. Sams Co that you might want to take a look at.

Thanks Jon, that's the same book that Al Stevens mentioned and I now have it. It seems that every time I buy a book on 'C' I end up disagreeing with the author on programming style, symbolic name abbreviations, etc. Oh well, I will find a book one day that does things the way I do them. (It will be the book that I write, probably.) ………Kevin
