Description:

This is a practical book for experienced programmers working in a VAX environment who are developing applications in C and need a reference other than the cumbersome DEC manuals. The book shows how to program in the C language on VAX computers, dicusses C language design, the VAX/VMS operating system, how to use VAX/VMS features from C, and how to write complete applications using VAX C. The book includes practical programs and exercises, and provides coverage of such peripheral issues as DEC Windows (MOTIF), distributed programming, and CASE methodology for application design.
