I've always assumed QC and MSC-6 shared some of the help files, If
you have MSC6 installed check out the online help for alloca() and see
if the warning about BP/SP is mentioned. Under normal use there would
always be at least 1 local variable as a pointer to hold the return
value from alloca() BTW i'd assume any arguments passed to a function
using alloca() would force BP/SP to be setup anyway.
