I started at WSI about seven months before System 7 was introduced. At the time the documented limit was 32 kB. Yes applications could call SetApplLimit but Desk Accessories could not, QuickLetter's stack was on top of the application's stack. We had no control over that. I expect the System always ensured that DAs could have 8 kB of stack on top of whatever the application had; that is, app+DA defaulted to 40 kB. MacCLint was such a skanky program I don't think it would have done it a whole lot of good to increase the stack.
