	imho, dump _a book on c_ & keep k&r.

	i used both when teaching a similar class.  i found that the
	kelley & pohl book just confused my students by attempting to
	oversimplify concepts; k&r, on the other hand, just "tells it like it
	is" & lets the teacher (you) explain any difficulties in understanding.

	i much prefer k&r; you might also consider andrew koenig's excellent
	_c traps & pitfalls_ as a supplement to k&r.
