- Subject: Mac Stack size init
-
- Dear folks,
-
- I have written a tiny INIT to solve the following problem: The processor stack
- size on the 68000 class machines (Plus, SE, PB100, etc) is for some reason set
- too small (about 2k Hex) for major programs to run properly, resulting in errors
- of the form id=28. This is most noticible with MacTCP programs such as
- "Mailstrom". Setting the stack to the Mac II class default, 6000 Hex, fixes the
- problem. As only 4k is lost to the OS, there is not much problem with lost RAM.
- The Init has been tested on several 68000 type machines, and several Mac II
- class machines (where it doesn't adjust the stack) with no problems. The INIT
- is Free.
