I have the same problem than you have, I think, because I can't
compile my BBS-Program (about 200 KB) into an EXE-File, but:

The Stack-Size you may change by using CLEAR , , <size>, for example,
CLEAR , , 5000 sets the stack to 5 kB ... that MAY help ...!!!

But: I have a question to ... Quick-Basic often terminates with
a 'string-area corrupt' or 'far-heap corrupt' , and that errors
are quite dangerous for a running BBS-System, because you can't
prevent them by using ON ERROR GOTO ...

Does anybody know about that errors and maybe how to solve ?

 Greetings ... Pat !
