Huh, well, here's something I didn't think about.

I recently got an old copy of "Joy of C", 3rd Ed., and am reacquainting
myself with C after a decade or so. Am enjoying it much more than I
thought I would; it's quite refreshing dealing with things in simplicity
and straightforwardness, rather than rapid builder toolkits and layers of
abstraction.

For a little interlude, it's very nice.

So, what I didn't think about when I got the book was that none of my
machines have a floppy drive anymore, so I can't just pop in the book's
handy floppy disk and read the book's source code. And the book's original
website is now non-existent.

If anyone knows an online source for the book's source code, would much
appreciate it.

[Here's another thing, quite unbelievable I know, but true.

There are NO public torrents with the 'Joy of C' code. Just what are
these pirates doing?! Pr0ning themselves stupid, I guess.]

Many thanks,

Maybe you need to contact the publisher for this.

Have you tried www.archive.org to see if they have a stored copy of
the old website?

Thanks, that's a useful website. Turns out it has some of the original
site, but not the source code.

Yes, thanks, thought of that, but the site says they no longer stock the
book, and I don't want to cause them any work.

I won't bother any further, I'll just type in those examples I want and
leave the rest. If I really want it, I can visit a friend who has a
floppy drive, I just thought the web might be quicker.
