Summary:

In the Programmer's WorkBench (PWB) version 1.00, there is a problem

with changing a program's stack size in some situations. When

specifying the stack size in the Link Options dialog box (from the

Options menu), you must enter the value in the form of a decimal

integer. Although the Help menu tells you this field accepts positive

integers in octal and hexadecimal form, PWB 1.00 will not accept them.

When an octal or hexadecimal value is entered in the stack-size field,

any digits specified as A-F are discarded and replaced by 0 (zero). If

digits precede a letter, the digits are retained and the letters are

discarded.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in PWB version 1.00. This

problem was corrected in PWB version 1.10.
