I know this is a long shot but does anyone by chance have, or know where to find, the source code from Herbert Schildt's book "The Art of C"? ISBN is 0-07-881691-2 and it was published a long time ago by Osborne. I have the book and the disk - but it's a 5.25" disk (!) and have no way to convert.

I've looked at his home page which refers you to the Obsorne site which says that the book/code are no longer available. I've also done a Google search with no luck.

If anyone has any further ideas on where this code might be found, I'd appreciate all thoughts.

Thanks in advance.

..Thats pretty old, why not get a newer version. You could probably find an e-book (being so old and whatnot) on Google.

Hmm, that book was written during Herbie's "formative" years. In other words, I suspect the code is 100% crap and you wouldn't want it in the first place. However, to be sure, I've ordered myself a copy from Amazon for $0.57... His "Art of C++" and "Art of Java" texts were rather lame and childish, so I'm not really expecting much. But it should be good for a laugh.

57 cents!?!? Ahahaha. Isn't that cheaper than the paper and bindings?

Is there no way to get a serious answer on these forums? It seems to me as if everyone is out looking for a chance to be a total jerk with derisive comments and holier-than-thou pronouncements. I asked about the code for a reason - which is really none of your business - and was hoping for some assistance rather than ridicule and snide, rude remarks.

That's it - between the nasty arrogance of DaWei and the nonsense that seems to flow like sewage from everyone else, I see no need to continue my membership on any of these forums. You folks just aren't worth the time and aggravation.

Good luck - I hope you all keep each other as smart assed and miserable as you seem to be.

I'm gone.

Listen, sonny boy, no one derided you. You got one of the most qualified responses you can hope to get. Loosen your belt and pull the wads out of your panties. If you feel like you can't hack the forum without a trip to Mama for your hourly sugar tit, well, so be it.

From the searching I did I don't think you are going to find the code unless someone has it stored somewhere but I don't really think you will find it. But http://books.mcgraw-hill.com does have code for its newer books. I didn't see anything for the Art of C though only for the Art of C++ Sorry but I don't think you are going to find what you are looking for, but then again anything is possible.

As for the snide remarks I didn't see anyone jumping on you. They just gave you there opinions, sorry if you thought that they were being mean but they were just stating what they thought.

Lets keep everything civil around here.
