but be careful not to exceed absolute limits, which are described in the file itself. i imagine tex will simply refuse to start if you get the numbers wrong, but it could be confusing if you've gone ahead "blindly" (as it were). > --- your modern computer has > a lot of RAM and the original TeX sizes date back to > the days of 8-bit machines. the original tex sizes date back before then: tex was developed on a pdp-10 (later decsystem 20) mainframe in the days when memory was counted in words (of 36 bits, in this case). i would be surprised if the machine in question had more than a few mbytes (equivalent) for support of the whole department. (in this department, my personal machine, with 1gbyte memory, is way behind what new users get.) robin _______________________________________________ TeX-music mailing list TeX-music@icking-music-archive.org http://icking-music-archive.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
