Message-ID: <1991Jun9.132518.48043@cc.usu.edu> Date: 9 Jun 91 13:25:18 MDT Organization: Utah State University Lines: 14 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 SLMT9@cc.usu.edu
