something daft. This is part of a larger problem; minimal code to show <br>
issue is below.<br>
<br>
All I am trying to do is move a table into a separate module, but the <br>
linker is giving me a hard time.<br>
<br>
Remove 'const' in the external module and everything works fine.<br>
<br>
Thoughts please !<br>
