	I have made a rather large GUI for DOS and I want to encapsulate it in a static library.
However, I am having trouble.  I don't know where to put the function prototypes, constant declarations,
and global variable declarations.  I seem to need to have these things in the library code when I compile
it, but when I do this and try to link to this library I get multiply defined symbols.  I think that I need to use
the 'extern' keyword somewhere.  If you have any experience with this sort of thing I would appreciate
your help.  Thanks in advance.
