Classic programming

Hi Noel, Thank you for correcting me. I was quite sleepy when I first read the original email and missed the point that MCPL came later. I have just finished reading " The Development of the C Language" and I must say that it was very interesting reading. I'm waiting on the Revised R&R C book to arrive so I can begin my journey through C and especially how it relates to Motorola's 68HC11 microcontrollers. I viewed Dennis Ritchie's home page and read where he passed away. I of course never knew, but I know he will be missed greatly by many people I would imagine. I learned C++ first, so backing up and learning C should be interesting. No doubt I will miss a few C++ features. :) Thanks again. Take care my friend.
