I have installed my new version of SAS/C version 5.10.  The docs that
come with it contain the only reference I know of about runtime stack
allocation.  I will list this reference without permission of SAS:

Minimum Stack	5.10 allows you to specify a minimum stack size by ini-
Size            tializing the  stack variable at compile time.  If you do,
		and your program is invoked with a smaller stack, the
		startup code will allocate a new stack of the minimum
		size.

I have tried the following to get it to work:

/* beginning of program file */

int stack = 1000000;

main ()
{

/* ... */

}

/* end of program file */

This didn't work.  The SAS requester came up saying I didn't have enough
stack space.  When I did a "stack 1000000" in my shell the program ran fine.
I then tried to make stack "static" but that didn't work either.  I have
noticed a _stack listed in lib:lc.lib so it must be an external reference, but
I just can't get it to work.  Any suggestions?

Regards,
Randy
