I understand the concept from my experience with Java.  I've looked into the source code for a couple OSS projects to fix what I expected to be simple bugs, but quickly found myself lost.  When I wrote C programs in high school, they generally consisted of one .c file and one .h file, not umpty-fratz .c files with one function in each!

I want a book that explains that design pattern, and especially the details of data hiding in C modules.  (I found some semi-helpful stuff about the 'static' keyword online.)  I'm going to see if I can find the book Fletch suggested...

Thanks,
Krum
