What is the largest array (in storage units) that you can declare in Gnat
2005 for the PC?
Does pragma Storage_ size affect this and if so where would you place it
in
a procedure?

It depends if you want to allocate it on the stack or on the heap.
I am using the stack. how do I change this at link time using GPL?
The
stack is often smaller but the size can be changed at link time. The
heap can use all the memory (physical + virtual) that you have on your
computer. There is a limit in the size allocated by a single object
imposed by the OS depending on the architecture (32bits / 64bits).
I am using Windows XP SP2 so my OS is 32 bits. You don't happen to know what
the limit is for Windows XP SP2 ?

Pascal.
