It just amazes me at at how hight people are setting the stack with
StackAttack. I've never had a problem with any MUI software as a cause of
MUI. All MUI apps should have a stack set to at least 8192 (and I've seen
some having a stack of ONLY 4096 in their icon!! ARRRRGGGGHHHH!). Some,
like YAM, have a very high stack set, and it baffles me as to why.
Anyways, I have StackAttack on my system for those programs that insist on
having too low a stack (I think the ram-handler is one of the biggest
culprits if I remember correctly), and it is set to MIN=6000 and ADD=200.
Both my A2000 and WinUAE systems are stable as a rock (except for when I
cause it to come crashing down during testing of my software developments
;-).

Well, my WinUAE system runs OS 3.5 with BB1, and it is set to 2Mb CHIP, 32Mb
FAST, 4Mb RTG. With or without StackAttach running the system ram at the
end of booting is about 28Mb FAST, 1.9 Mb CHIP. The 4Mb I assume is being
chewup up by other software like Birdie, DOpus 5.x, backgrounds, icons, and
all the other software I run from the WBStartup and User-startup...
Sincerely,
