Thanks.  Someone else posted an answer to another question that reminded me
of that.  It's been a lot of years since I had to use extern - I just forgot
about it.

regards,

Dave Mottorn

Yep, it's called "extern".  Put that keyword in front of the variable
definitions in the 2nd source code file.  It tells the compiler that the
variables exist, but the true definitions are in another source code file.

To simplify things in the future, you can put these "extern" variable
definitions in header files and just include those where you need those
variables.  A lot easier than copying them everywhere :-)
