Where to Get Information on C Programming
Unfortunately, OLC does not have the support to help with questions on
this level of programming. In general, problems of this nature
require amounts of time and attention that consultants are not capable
of providing, except in rare circumstances.
Please be aware that if an attempt is made to help
with your problem, there are no guarantees that we will have the
resources to completely solve it. Priority must be given to questions
that fall into the domains which we support; therefore, it may be
necessary to resolve your question if we cannot provide any additional
assistance without considerable effort.
Here are some other resources you can consult should we be unable to
help completely. The on-line help browser might also prove helpful,
and can be started up by typing help at your athena%
prompt.
