Message-ID: <1990Sep24.041749.23199@cunixf.cc.columbia.edu> Date: 24 Sep 90 04:17:49 GMT Sender: news@cunixf.cc.columbia.edu (The Daily News) Reply-To: jtt@cunixd.cc.columbia.edu (James T. Tanis) Organization: Columbia University Lines: 14 I'm trying to convert some database stuff into a bunch of XCMDS. The routines are heavily recursive, and so the application version has to move the top of the heap down (8k doesn't do it) Do xcmds use the same stack as the hypercard application? I assume they do, so how do I either get more space or use a different stack from my XCMD?? I suppose I could patch InitApplZone at startup, but I'd prefer something more elegant.... Here's hoping... -JT
