Folks,
  

   After much looking and little finding I have come to ask for your 
assistance.  I'm working on a project in which we believed the best way
to insure a 500K array was allocated corectly was to declare it as static  
and then when we needed to use it in a nother program to declare it there as 
an extern.  When we did this we got a variable undefined error during the
linking of the programs.  Now my question is this a standard C compiler 
thing or is this compiler wrong.  Below are the relative parts of the code:

common.h
...
typedef char Bit_Fail_Array_Type[Row_Max][Column_Max_By_Byte][Sub_Array_Max];
...

raster.c 
...
static Bit_Fail_Array_Type bit_fail_array_table;
... 

raster_anaylsis.c
...
extern Bit_Fail_Array_Type bit_fail_array_table;
...


I have found that this will work if I just do not declare the array as 
a static in the first place.  It then will work fine, but we a slightly 
afraid that if we do not declare this as static when it is declared there
may not be enough memory left after the other parts of this program have 
ran of a while.


Thanks in Advance
