The manual will instruct you to put a statement like extern unsigned _stklen = 54321U; in your code, outside of any function. You must assign the value right in the extern statement; it won't work to assign a value at run time. The linker may give you a duplicate symbol warning, which you can ignore. If you are using the Borland PowerPack for DOS _stklen does not change the stack size. To change the stack size you must use STACKSIZE in your .DEF file. HEAPSIZE can be used to change the size of your program's heap. User Contributions: 1 Ben in Seattle ⚠ Jun 2, 2026 @ 4:16 pm Another solution is to use a parallel port loopback plug. It makes the PC think there is a printer attached. The benefit of this is it doesn't require anticipating the problem with ANSI.SYS escape sequences nor does it make you wait half an hour for the "Abort, Retry, Ignore?" prompt, as some versions of DOS do.
