PATSTACK - Stack Value Patching utility for SUPERK.COM
There have been reports of strange things happening with SUPERK when
installed in various PC environments. In order to keep the SuperK memory
requirements to a minimum, I have set the Minimum and Maximum stack
values at a bare minumum. Testing has proven that this may very well be
the cause of the stange transfer results experienced by some users. By
providing a real time patching utility - as opposed to simply increasing
the stack values - you can experiment with different stack values and
(hopefully) come up with the optimum compromise between proper transfer
performance and memory requirements. To this end, PATSTACK is being made
available so that the user may patch the Minimum and Maximum stack values
directly within SUPERK.COM.
You may also startup PATSTACK with two command line parameters:
PATSTACK x y
where x = the new Minimum Stack value
y = the new Maximum Stack value
If no command line parameters are specified, PATSTACK will display
how the stack values are figured and what the current values are. Simply
enter the new values and PATSTACK will make the modifications to
SUPERK.COM.
IN ALL CASES, The Mimimum Stack value should be less than or equal to
the Maximum Stack value.
It should be noted that SuperK memory requirements will increase as
the values of the stack(s) increase and that the range of 512 to 2048 is
checked prior to patching SUPERK.COM
PATSTACK will work on any version of SUPERK.COM
