Could anybody tell me how to modify the stack size in Turbo C 2.0 ? Thanks, swie@umn-cs.cs.umn.edu

If your compiling in say, small model, you're limited to 64K maximum for stack+data+code. Whereas in say a huge model (please, there's probably a happy medium for you) you get up to 1Meg stack+data+code (that is to say the theoretical addressable size). Something other than small, prehaps `the compact or medium model is what you should look at. Jeffrey P.

Take out your Turbo C 2.0 Reference Guide, and open it to the index. Look for the word "stack". You'll see this: stack 67, 81, 235 length 30 overflow logic 438 ... Turn to page 30. Bingo, instant answer. Total time: 10 seconds, which includes 4 seconds to walk over to your bookshelf to grab the manual. (Yes, I timed myself.) -- raymond@math.berkeley.edu Maintainer of the csip Frequently Asked Questions
