In the not-too-distant past, I saw quite a bit of back and forth about the changes to the Unix version 5.0 C compiler, which led to the distribution of "Mcc" as well as "cc". As I recall, the new "cc" would balk at "multiple external declarations", and "Mcc" had had a lobotomy to avoid this. I, however, being of a dubious level of mentality, do not quite understand exactly what is meant by "multiple external declarations". Would one of you nice folks out there take pity on me and provide a concrete definition (preferably with examples - I work better if I can see it) of the problem and what can be done to rectify the problem so that I can begin to re-hack my code so that it will pass the new "cc" when we get 5.0 installed? A response by mail is probably in order, although I imagine there may be others out there with the same problem. Burned out BEFORE New Year's Kevin Hunter houti!kdh {houxg, houxe}!houti!kdh
