I thought that the stack grew from the top of memory (or MF partition), while the heap grows from the bottom (and when they collide, you get System Bomb 28). Did this change? Or is the "stack size" the _minimum_ stack size, like you would get if you called MaxApplZone to grow the heap as big as possible? -Eric Please note! olson@bootsie.uucp will not work!
