Forget this one, it wasn't as good as Code Complete when it came
out and it has aged less well. Its not even of great value to C
programmers nowadays, it spends a lot of time dealing with the
inadequacies of the compilers and other tools around at the time!

Better tools mean much of it has lost its urgency.
