I just picked up "C Unleashed" from Amazon for $39.99 plus shipping. I
don't use 'picked up' lightly. It takes two hands. I'm afraid to check
for the shipping charges. They sent it in a separate shipment on a
bigger truck. :-)

Although out of print, it is available. I got a 'new' never opened one.

Out of curiosity, why? What do you feel it offers that other, more
regularly touted, books offer? I have hmmed and harred about addinh it
to my collection but the general reviews I saw were so so and I was
never a fan of "collected works" where the style and prose change from
chapter to chapter.

Out of curiosity. Heathfield and Kirby are among the 'good guys' in my
book. I should have bought it sooner. I haven't started reading it yet.
I'll have to get back to you with my own 'review' of it.

There's a huge advantage to buying books written by people on this ng, which
is that you can speak to the author.

I prefer a book where I don't need to talk to the author to understand
it to be honest.

And you don't need a C compiler to learn the language. My mother learnt
programming for a non-existent computer. This was in the days when they used
to count the number of computers in the world.
However it is a real if you can type programs in and see the results.

How that has anything to do with needing to talk to a books author is
beyond me.

Err, yes. I would agree.

All I can say is that I hope you find it worth the price! I
personally guarantee that Chapter 18 is worth at least $0.75, if not,
I'm good for it.

By the way, I thought Richard had changed ISP's and his errata page
might be gone, but it is still at
http://users.powernet.co.uk/eton/unl...ata/index.html

Here's a direct link to my page on my chapter:

http://jk-technology.com/C_Unleashed/code_list.html

It has source code and corrected versions of some of the graphs from
the PID control section.
