First piece of advice - get rid of ANY Schildt book.  They are noted for
high invalidity levels.  Buy Kernighan & Ritchie for the actual language.

If you haven't got a simple minded (meaning command line driven) C system
mounted, get one.  For DOS, or under W95/98 in DOS windows, you can get DJGPP
at a very reasonable price (free).  Try
http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/zip-picker.html to get started.
