The variable _stklen is defined in dos.h as

	extern unsigned _stklen;

It defaults to 4K words; the minimum is 128 words.  You choose your size by

	_stklen = 1048576;	/* or whatever size you want... */

There is also a variable _heaplen for controlling heap size.
See p.53 of the v1.5 upgrade manual; also mentioned in the read.me file
of later copies of v1.0, and I expect it's mentioned in the 2.0
documentation.
