There's a C version of that book which is (IMO) even better -- not least because he spends less time complaining about Pascal's limitations ;-) There are also multi-volume versions (as yet incomplete -- not unlike Knuth), but the shorter original versions are more approachable (actually I think they're better, although obviously not so complete). -- chris
