[comp.sys.ibm.pc] STACKS command in CONFIG.SYS

27003_1406@uwovax.uwo.ca (Les Flodrowski) (08/09/88)

 My MS-DOS 3.21 documentation describes in detail the STACKS=x,n command
for CONFIG.SYS.  Yet, when I try using the command on my 2.31 system (a
Zenith-286 LP), I get the error message:

            Unrecognized command in CONFIG.SYS

when I boot.  I've tried STACKS=5, STACKS=0,0, etc., etc. but NOTHING works.
Any ideas anyone?

If I understand this right, you are running MS-DOS 2.31 but are trying to
use a 3.21 feature?  If that is the case, your answer would be that 2.31
doesn't support this feature.  If you just mis-typed what version you were
running, sorry, don't have an answer.
