I just don't get header files and what "extern" actually means. I want
to break up a long program, so I've put all the declarations, from the
first #define up til main(), into a .h file. 

I've put some of the functions into one .C file, and the rest into
another, and included my .h file in both.

It gives me "multiple definition of blablah" a lot of times.

What do I actually do, what does extern mean? I realise it's simple
but it's a big project and I don't want to mess anything up then have
some obscure bug pop up later and torment me not knowing what it is.
