- You should also be aware of a shareware package that steps you through the
- basics of learning C. It is written with an MS-DOS slant, but I found that
- nearly everything ran under TOS with the exception of some stuff that
- depended on the MS-DOS display. Look for the files c-tutor1.arc and
- c-tutor2.arc. They may be on atari.archive; I know that they are on
- wuarchive.wustl.edu under /mirrors3/archive.umich.edu/msdos/programming/c
- and since that is a mirror of archive.umich.edu, it is probably under
- msdos.archive.umich.edu as well. There is a c++ tutorial kicking around
- as well.
