The main program stack in VADS, e.g., is set by a configurable parameter in the v_usr_conf_b.a package body source file. There are other configurable parameters there, such as the default storage_size for tasks, etc. Other toolsets provide similar things. In gnat for WinNT, Windows95, it is controlled by the specs file in either the gnu_ld or the ms_lnk directories, depending on the linker you're using. -- David C.
