Yes, I have the book but I'd rather read an Apollo manual :-) The book I use to learn C is 'The C Primer, 2nd Edition' by Les Hancock and Morris Krieger. It's just good enough to show me what C is but lack of antidebugging/debugging (to borrow the terms from 'Oh Pascal') information like this. Thanks to all the people who sent me mails and posted messages about my mistake. Jinfu Chen
