I'm writting a suped up directory program in Lattice 5.04 'C'.  
 
I'm having a problem with the stack.  When I used arrays, I had to set
the stack high enough for it to run (I understand why.)  So I decided to
use CALLOC to create the memory I need so the user can leave the stack
at 4k.
 
When I run it under CALLOC, I STILL have to set the stack.  Why?  Isn't
it dynamic therefor it uses heap space instead?  
 
Is CALLOC a dynamic memory accessor or do I have to go to rbrk whatever
that is???
