Yes, I've always heard good things about his stuff. I even have his (old) 
fractals and graphics books. However, they're fairly useless now because 
they are closely associated with DOS device access and MS/Borland C 
compilers and, as I'm sure you know, the standard libraries for those 
compilers were very non-standard.

I don't write C++. I have a copy of Stroustoup but found it much harder 
to read than K&R. 

I tried to get into C++ but (a) didn't like it a lot and (b) found *huge* 
binary bloat and rubbish performance. Besides, almost every time I've 
needed to read a C++ program I've discovered it to be essentially ANSI C 
with // comments and not an object in sight.
