Thank you. > > Dotan Cohen > http://technology-sleuth.com/long_answer/what_are_the_advantages_of_lcd_monitors.html It seems that you're really beginning with C. You asked, and you got good, specific advice. But it won't be very easy to learn C from the gcc man page. A good C book will be a good investment. If you decide to buy one, let it be "The C Programming Language" by Kernighan & Ritchie - the very authors of C. It is the best book on C. Similarly, if you ever want to learn C++ get Stroustrup's "The C++ Programming Language". Any university library should have them. Oh, yeah, and you may want to check out the compiler specific newsgroups, like gnu.gcc.help or gnu.g++.help.
