What should I do about it if a program in the original PC Code for example
uses TONS of local data which ends all up on the stack ? Okay, i can rewrite
it, but this *can* for some projects - especially if the original code is not
one of the most cleanly coded things - be a lot of work, and for freeware
projects one might say this amount of effort in a feature which can also be
handled by providing a GUI which raises the stack is not needed. Of course
only my opinion. I agree, though, that some sort of GUI *should* be included,
so that the normal user does not need to mess around with stack. I admit i was
sometimes (too ?) lazy about this in the past... :) Well, since (including)
AmiHeretic i always looked to provide a GUI for new stack-intensive projects :)
If a program needs large stack this is all already in the original source
code, usually... for ports...
