Hmm. As long as you don't believe the C++ part, it might work. Some people get very aggressive about this Schildt person. He actually wrote one quite thick book, and published many somewhat smaller subsets of it. But I digress. For information on the C-library, install the libc documentation (for hamm that would be the libc6-doc package), and read the info files. For information on graphics, you will have to refer to the O'Reilly series on the X-window system (for X11, not very `compact'), or use a toolkit like gtk and read its docs, or use svgalib and its docs or use tcl/Tk, Perl/Tk, plotutils (nice for graphs mostly, no gui stuff) and there respective docs/man pages. Are we confused or delighted about so much freedom of choice? HTH, Eric PS: Would be people be so nice to consider meaningful subjects for their posts? Please? -- E.L.
