Yes your exactly right, I should of said that the use of
extern int vms_show = 0 ; defines a global symbol internally
just like the old-form globaldef . (in addition to the psect ref)
So that the linker will be happy.

So does the form, but it is a "weak" ? globaldef.
int vms_show; /* outside a function*/

so is the recommendation? one "extern int vms_show = 0;"
and multiple "extern int vms_show"
