Check out the FAQ, in particular question 6.16:

http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/C-faq/q6.16.html

Regarding the final option given there (pointers to arrays) the FAQ says
that "at most one dimension may be specified at run time".

That's no longer true with C99, and my money's on this as the best option
in the case of C99. The advantage it has is that the array's storage
layout is exactly the same as that of a static array with the same
dimension sizes, and there is no need to allocate arrays of pointers. So
you save space and you maintain compatibility with existing code that may
for some reason access the array contents in a way other than normal array
indexing.

How is the array defined, and how is it accessed?

It may be as simple as replacing the global array definition with a
global definition of a pointer to that type, and allocating memory for
it early on in main(). Then again, it may not be that simple.

You need to provide more information.
