A quick tutorial on Digital Equipment Corporations OpenVMS operating system. No, it isn't Unix.

The C++ Standard Template Library, generally referred to as the STL, saves you, the programmer, from having to re-invent the wheel. This course is aimed at programmers who have reasonable familiarity with the C++ programming language, and know about classes, constructors and the like. Avoiding esoteric functionality, the examples have been written to clearly demonstrate STL features. The sample programs also use Standard Library (as distinct from Standard Template Library) features like fstream and iostream, providing examples of how to use these.

This course is intended to help a beginner start programming in C, but should provide a reasonable introduction to C for people who have used any programming language before. There are a number of program examples, copies of which you can download as karas_c_examples.zip.
