With turbo C there's no need to move the stack. To resize the program's memory simply change the _stklen and _heaplen variables. For example, if you know it'll need only 4K of stack, set _stklen = 4 * 1024; Or, if you know it'll not use more than 20K of heap, set _heaplen = 20 * 1024; The Turbo C library, for small memory model programs, resizes automatically the memory image at startup according to the two variables _heaplen and _stklen.
