Stacks is part of the Kamyan Utilities package ( See separate document
kutils.doc for details about Kamyan Utilies).
Stacks is a Windows 3.1 utility which will display the amount of stack space
running windows applications have used. This utility will mostly be useful

6.1 Running Stacks
Stacks was designed to run with Windows 3.1. It makes use of the
toolhelp.dll program which is part of Windows 3.1. It may run with
Windows 3.0 if the toolhelp.dll program is in the Windows system directory,
but this has not been tested.
When you start Stacks the stack usage of all Windows programs will
be evaluated and displayed. Pressing the Evaluate Stack Usage button
will cause a complete stack evaluation again. You may want to do
after working with a running program.
The display of stack usage includes the program name, the current amount of
stack remaining, and the lowest amount of stack remaining at its lowest.
6.2 Update each Second
Selecting this check box will cause Stacks to evaluate stack usage
each second. Turn this option on and then preform some operations in a
program to see how the stack usage in the program changes based on
different operations.
