I get you now. Maybe you could simply point out the gotchas where they
|
|
appear in the example code? That would help students (using the term
|
|
loosely) to understand the algorithms, and would be more immediately
|
|
helpful than listing them in a separate section of the document. DocBook
|
|
appears to have some interesting facilities for annotating program
|
|
listings, although I haven't tried them out myself yet.

And there are *many* more references online. Or, perhaps you would be
|
|
better off just linking to Google's Web Directory, which is at
|
|
<A HREF="http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers/Programming/Languages/C/">http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers/Programming/Languages/C/</A> Let
|

them do the grunt work of maintaining the directory instead of you. Repeat
|

after me, "Search engines are your friends!" ;p
