OK, I know where the problem is, but not why.  The routine rs2.x brings
in sglo.h which has a statement "extern  _rs232".  Since this is not
defined as an entry point anywhere in any of the other routines, it
creates an unsatisfied external.

Can I solve it by just removing the statment from sglo.h?  Or will that
just create other problems?
