None yet.  I would expect we would see one soon.......anybody at Midrange
Computing or Duke
listening?   A good alternative would be Jennifer Hamilton's book C for RPG
Programmers and possibly
Paul Conte's book Common Sense C (might be stretching it a bit but this is
a good book).  Jennifer (last
time I checked) worked at Toronto and was a frequent speaker at COMMON (I
haven't attended since
Atlanta).  She is very knowledgeable with RPG, C, and object-oriented
techniques.  The book is maybe
a little bit slanted to C/400 but that shouldn't cause any problems.  You
can get this book from Duke
Communications for $69 plust S+H.  You can reach them at www.news400.com or
800.621.1544.

I do no work for Duke or Jennifer - just an appreciative reader!
