You do not say which compiler and linker you are using, but for increasing 
the stack size using of Microsoft compiled code, eg C v5.1, you can use 
the link option /ST:XXXX where XXXX is the (hex) size of your desired
stack.  If exemod doesn't work, it is likely that the version you are using
is not compatible with the compiler and linker that you are using.
