What is the proper way to determine the minimum stack and zone sizes that your program will be able to function with? I am using LSP and i want to know what values to set under 'Run Options' and also what values to put in my 'SIZE' -1 resource. I was having troubles with my program crashing and then i increased the stack size and everything was fine. However, i don't know if i expanded it way beyond what it really needed.

I am using LSP and i want to Unless your program is very heavily recursive, or has routines that declare huge amounts of local storage, the default 16K stack allocation is probably sufficient. Most programs will like 256K of zone, perhaps more; it depends very heavily on what the program is doing. When configuring the SIZE resource, the number you give it should be the sum of the stack and zone sizes. -_Rich ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rich Siegel Staff Software Developer Symantec Corporation, Language Products Group Internet: siegel@endor.harvard.edu UUCP: ..harvard!endor!siegel "When it comes to my health, I think of my body as a temple - or at least a moderately well-managed Presbyterian youth center." - Emo Phillips ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
