Larry,

It took me a long time to understand all the ins and outs of C variable
definitions. Part of my confusion was that static means something different
whether the variable is defined outside or inside a function. The concept of
what a global variable really is, and how extern and the linker fit into the
picture was also something that I didn't understand at first. Its good to hear
that you got it working.

        -Bill-
