Does anybody out there know where online to get basic documentation on ANSI/ISO C? I want to prepare to possibly teach others to learn to program while catching up on holes in my knowledge of C.

I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please
everybody.

Fully agree; even today I still do the same silly errors in coding
(fencepost errors, and when happens on pointers... ugh) and I
program/code in C since late 80s...

Best regards from Italy,

Did you check out Kernighan & Ritchie's "The C Programming Language"?
It is a short, very accessible introduction that covers all the basic aspects. And it's from the authors of the language, so they know what's they're talking about. Once you've worked your way through it, you're in an excellent position to tackle more serious issues.
Very important: Get the second edition. The first one was written before the language was standardized and must be considered obsolete now.

I need a more portable intro to C. The problem is that I know the ANSI C language--although not perfectly--but might want to help others learn C. I need it to be in e-text format and distributable so that others can access it. I might be able to pay a small fee for such, though.

Is it just me or is the thought of you teaching others how to program a
little scary?

Much of the excitement we get out of our work is that we don't really know
what we are doing.
