By "the O'Reilly Practical C book" -- do you mean "Practical C
Programming" by Steve Oualline?  I just got that book a month or two ago,
and haven't had much time to get into it, but it looks good so far.  Some
people I've talked to about it didn't seem to think much of it, but
they're developing a new open source C compiler and seem to be the "K&R
is all you need" type, so I figure I should probably take their opinion
of it with a grain of salt.  If anyone else has any thoughts, though, I'd
be happy to hear them (especially if those thoughts involve some specific
things to watch out for while I'm reading the book so I won't be led
astray).
