djgpp (or maybe go32) also understands an environment variable called
dpmistack or dpmistacksize (can't remember which it is, or whether there are
hyphens involved) which saves stuffing around with the executable. There's
no reason to still be using a dos based compiler anyway, seeing as you can
compile gcc for win32, and get something that's much better. That way you're
also not locked in to using gcc 2.6.3.

Of course you could make the real leap, and go to a freeware unix - for
which there will soon be a version of timtool, among other things.

toby.
