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.
