I'd like to say I have a basic control of the C language. Is there any
reccomended reading upon completion of K&R?
Are there any projects someone new to C could study/watch over/ and
eventually contribute to in order to get a grip on the development
process and/or expand their knowledge?
Thank you.

I, too, have Richter's book, but it's a bit heavy IMHO - Petzold is
gentler, and very thorough. Having said that, his C really sucks. :-)
Ahh.. so that's where you picked up your ugly looking meassage crackers
then! ;-)
Richter's C code isn't a pleasure to read either, but having one
reference on the Win32 API is sometimes useful.

won't hurt the Windows people.
That depends on how hard you throw it.

No, actually I invented those for myself. Like most of my inventions, it
turned out that they were actually *re*-inventions. For the record,
though, I don't think Petzold uses message crackers at all.

Hmm. Perhaps we're talking about different Jeffery Richters, or perhaps
he wrote two books, both called "Advanced Windows", with radically
different contents. A reference on the Win32 API is certainly something
I would not have called it.

Since the "Programmer s Reference Manual" for Win32 API is provided by
MSDN, Richters book (3rd ed.) is just a useful supplement to this, and I
can call it a *guide* if you like... whatever.

I have a basic understanding of this, so forgive me if I am overly
simplistic in my explanation of my problem..
I am trying to get a Java/Xalan transform to pass through a numeric
character reference (i.e. ) and it seems to be converting the
character to its UNICODE representation.
Take this source XML document:

Hello,
I have the following problem:
I used to "encode" my email address within links, in order to avoid (most)
email spiders. So I had a link like this:
<a
href="mailto:DrTebi@yahoo.com">DrTebi</a>
This would work like a regular mailto link in any browser, but wouldn't be
visible to spiders if they don't have a function to decode it.

I've feel that I have tried everything possible but I still cannot get
my code to work in both netscape version 6 and IE.
My Javascript is in XSL files but this should not matter.
I am using the frameset below, the ids are different but the names are
the same. The names are the same because I have a function to minimise
and maximise a frame given its name and this uses getElementsByName.

She made up her requirements after having compared how search works at

This is what she wants my program to be able to do:

At eBay:

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Overview:
Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
