Under stack frame, I understand the formal layout, not the size (but I might be wrong). Is it really a problem with todays tyoical computers, to use much stack? I remember DOS and Atari days, where this was an issue. Since I started using DOS extenders, the issue was gone for me. At least it seems so. Is there some unusual penalty still, for using much stack space? Of course, I am aware of caching issues, etc. Even of more subtle things, that references to local vars might need offsets >= 127 will need longer code. But to me, this seems all more or less negligible. BTW. I always thought, you had another live as some famous math professor. Cheers, Dieter
