Under Turbo C++ 3.00:
 Q. How do I change the stack size? 
 A. The size of the stack of a Turbo C++ program is determined at 
    run time by the global variable _stklen. To change the size 
    to, for example, 10,000 bytes, include the following line in 
    your program: 
  
      extern unsigned _stklen = 10000; 
  
    This statement must not be inside any function definition. 
    The default stack size is 4,096 bytes (4K). 
  
 Q. I'm getting a 'Stack Overflow!' message when I run my program. 
    How can I work around this? 
 A. You may increase the stack size by following the procedure above. Stack 
    overflows are usually caused by a large amount of local data or 
    recursive functions. You can decrease the amount of stack space 
    used by declaring your local variables static: 
  
         int main(void)                int main(void) 
         {                             { 
             char x[5000];     -->          static char x[5000]; 
                 :                                : 
         }                             } 
  
    Of course, you should be aware that there are other effects 
    that the "static" keyword has, as applied here. 
Sincerely,
