We are not in comp.lang.c, but comp.arch.embedded.  I'm sure the experts
over there know all about learning and working with C as it was originally
intended and mostly used - i.e., on computers.  They (for the most part) get
to work with 32-bit systems, solid, standards-conforming compilers, good
debuggers, logging files, printf, malloc, and all the rest of it.  In
comp.arch.embedded, the emphasis is somewhat different, and the requirements
are somewhat different.  I know there is a fair amount of overlap in the
groups, but the O/P posted here, so we answer here with embedded experiance
rather than general C experiance.
