This is a plea for help with C. The problem is in getting an external
variable to work. I defined a character array like this
char names[5][20]={"name1","name2","name3","name4","name5"};
I then try to make this an extern variable from a section of code that
I am compiling seperately. Well it does not work at all. I have tried to
declare it in several ways and still I can not get it too work. Anyway Any and
All help would be greatly appriciated.
Thanks,
Joshua

"extern char names[5][20]" should work. What kind of errors are you getting? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The DiskDoctor threatens the crew!
