[Yes, I have got the right group -- read on]

For my next job, I'll be working in C and possibly C++ (no flames, please).
Can anyone recommend some good books on both for someone who has a Pascal
and Ada background?

I first programmed in BASIC, then 6809 assembler and then progressed via
Pascal and various other assemblers to Ada. I've done quite a lot of work
modifying a large C program, but I haven't actually *written* much C code.

I've looked at the second edition of K&R, but it seems rather expensive and
sparse. "A Book on C" by Kelly and Pohl bears a remarkable similarity to K&R
-- indeed, it looks like K&R with more words.

So, can any of you folks recommend anything for this Adaphile?
