Arity, non-386 LPA, and the rest just allocate a single 64k segment of memory for each stack. It takes a bit more work to manage chunks of memory larger than 64k on a non-386 machine, but it's hardly prohibitive. In fact, most compilers provide support for whatever size objects you want to manage. Of course, on 386 systems, the problem goes away altogether. Bradley
