It's a very good book on the mechanics of C++ programming and includes examples for Unix. BTW, there is no language called "C/C++". You either code in C or C++. I discovered this when I thought I was writing C code, but it had to be compiled using g++ because I was using some c++ constructs.
Check http://www.gtk.org and look into the tutorial. It makes creating X apps fairly easily. If you are more interested in making games, there is a cross-platform toolkit calld SDL available at http://www.devolution.com/~slouken/SDL/. It claims to be able to create cross-platform code that runs on Linux/Windows/BeOS and soon MacOS. I've gotten a simple program to compile on Windows/Linux (the wonders of cross-compilers), but the Windows version pagefaults all the time. -- Stephen Pitts [EMAIL PROTECTED] webmaster - http://www.mschess.org
