Hello, 
compiling a code originally being written to another box, I 
encounter a problem with the 

alloca 

function. alloca allocates <size> bytes of space in the stack frame of the
caller. Is there any fragment of code ot there which emulates this function?

Hints and pointers also mostly appreciated. 

Regards 
Reinhard
