Title: A must for any C developper on Vax/VMS
Review: I found this book in a library in Montreal 6 years ago. Since then, I don't know how many times it has helped me fixing problems by giving complete but simple explanations on the topic I was looking for.The book gives quick basics on C then go on to talk about the VAX/VMS environment including a getting started section. It then talks about all the specifics of C related to VAX/VMS for the program structure, data types, storage allocation, pointers, structures, etc...The chapter on the VMS debugger is usefull to figure out complex problems with C programs.This books also talks about the RMS files, VAX C Run-Time library and other System services. There is also a chapter on DecNET as well as a chapter on some usefull products like CMS, DTM, LSE, MMS, PCA and SCA.It even goes as far as talking about volume shadowing and so much more.This book as it all! If you work with C on VAX/VMS, you need this book!
