(Documented in Appendix of > DOS Manual). The correct syntax (for PC DOS 3.21) is: STACKS=n,s where n is the number of stack frames (default 9) and s is the size in bytes of each frame (default 128) -- Maarten Jan Huisjes.

(Documented in Appendix of > DOS Manual). Are you sure? I thought that was a linker option (don't have the manual for 3.2 handy, though). I use STACK=<number><size> (no final "S" on "stack"). For example, STACK=9,512. This may be undocumented, but it doesn't return an "unknown command in CONFIG.SYS" or some such message the way STACKS=xxx does (I'm running IBM's PC-DOS 3.2). > > Also, there is a patch available from IBM... > -- Bitnet: lib.cb@uchicago.bitnet Internet: lib.cb@chip.uchicago.edu uucp: ..!ihnp4!gargoyle!sphinx!cjdb
