Kernighan and Plauger's Software Tools book is available in two versions, the
original one using code in Ratfor (Rational Fortran: Fortran 66 with C
influences, if I am understanding
correctly) and in a 1981 revision
Pascal as the language.
Which version would you recommend for a student working mostly in C and why?
" Gee, I'm a student working mostly with C. I've considered and rejected
countless possible textbooks. Doing all that evaluation by myself, without
needing anyone's help, I managd to narrow down the list of books down to two
editions of a single one.
But these editions don't even use C, but rather Ratfor and Pascal. So now I
don't know what to do, and am in grave need of help, going from website to
website to Usenet looking for someone who will help me decide.
