Information Hiding

[cman]

Is there a way to hide data declared in a .data section of a file from other files that include it? I know the "proc" directive has a visibility option , but can something of the same sort be done with data? Thanks for any info....

as long as not declaring variables explicit as external (EXTERNDEF), they are only visible in then current module.

If you "include" the file, it is technically part of the same module, and there's not much you can do.  If you use seperately assembled modules, the information is "hidden" unless you use the externdef (thats good programming practice anyway  :naughty:)
