One Really St00pid Question

[asldh at acad2.anc.alaska.edu]

  Welp, I hope that nobody out there is too offended, but I need to ask a
Really Stupid Question.  Ready?  I am writing in MS-DOS Turbo C or Microsoft C,
and I need to be able to pass the data contained in a two-dimensional char
array from one function to another.  I looked in all of my programming
references and found NOTHING on passing multi-dimensional arrays, and the
one-dimensional array method did not seem to work.  I have constructed a
workaround at the moment, which consists of declaring a global array large
enough to handle any of the arrays I need to pass, and then filling it as
needed.  However, this "solution" offends me -- it smells of old-time BASIC
methodology... :-}  Can anyone offer me a more elegant method?  I do not need
to alter the contents of the arrays (at present), but I do need to read them. 
Thanks in advance for listening to the ramblings of another lost soul...
(If this is the WRONG newsgroup, please direct your flames to alt.nul...
Thanks!)
