What is the big deal about not declaring your variables global? At Carnegie
Mellon this is a big deal, but I see that Borland and other programmers have
developed their programs using global variables.  Is it just the different
approach or is Carnegie Mellon trying to prove something by not using global
variables?  What is so wrong with using global variables?
