Hi Ben,

   When we first started working in C, we took a program we'd written in a   
   another language, with then worked it through in C.. by our side were a couple   
   of books on C programming so if one guy's language wasn't real clear, the   
   other guy might be more understandable hehe.   
      
   Some online links to online tutorials:

   http://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial.html   
      
   There are some older tutorial files in the PDN collection in PDNCEE, such as   
   Bob Stout's snippets file (straight ansi C programming though).   
      
   Bob's C snippets:

   Not sure if the following will run on your windows box.. they're pretty old :(

   or, you may want to check out this page:   
      
   http://www.coronadoenterprises.com/tutorials/cpp/index.html   
      
   Or.. buy any book in C/C++ programming with the word "Beginner" in the title   
   :) Like I said, we always bought a couple or raided the library for them..   
   then moved on to others.   
      
   Take care,
