Prentice-Hall. >0-13-685967-4 A well-regarded book from the same period is Mark Horton, _Portable C Software_, Prentice Hall, 1990 0-13-868050-7. The advice is dated in some ways (e.g., he still recommended using K&R-type declarations instead of prototypes--reasonable advice at the time, less so today), but the main points about portable design are still sound. Particularly useful are the listings of function libraries and standards with indications of how portable the individual functions are among various Unix versions and other OS's. -- Matthew Saltzman Clemson University Math Sciences mjs@clemson.edu
