C Review Thanks

[Peter at adm.UUCP]

This is just to thank all you who responded to my "C Review"
posting. It was certainly very enlightening. I'd just like
to say that I certainly don't totally disagree with all his
comments myself (although some I did). Nothing is ever completely
black and white. However, his tone for the entire review, and
not just those comments which I posted, seemed to give a very
negative impression about C and C programmers. His attitude
is even more puzzling to us in that he claims to be an active
voice in the current ANSI C discussions--I hope he doesn't have
too much influence or C might never be the same language!!
Incidentally, this guy has already written a C text and
says he has two more in the works. I don't know what his
past book is like, but I going to take a look...

Again, thanks for your input, and I 'll certainly know who to
turn to the next time I need some good advice!!!
