The libraries are extensive and the manual has examples of all the functions. I have used both Turbo-C and Power-C, what you don't get with Power-C is the fancy graphics. Since the world is crazy about graphics, this may be a consideration. But if you want to learn C try the Power-C - its the best $10 you'll ever spend. ------------------------ James F.
