From: Neal Holtz <holtz%cascade.carleton.cdn%ubc.csnet@csnet-relay.arpa> These are starting to get rediscovered, so I guess I had better inform the list: 1. deals with deficient operating systems that impose a small limit on the number of concurrently open files (e.g. 4.2BSD). The font cache size must be reduced. This does NOT reduce the number of fonts usable -- it just causes the PXL files to be closed and reopened more often. Apparently that number should be even lower for SUN's with windows, but I don't know anything about that. 2. deals with a bug in an error message handling \special files. Diffs: 100c100 < #define MAXOPEN 50 /* limit on number of open PXL files */ --- > #define MAXOPEN 15 /* limit on number of open PXL files */ 820c820 < fprintf(stderr,"Unable to open special file %d\n", str ); --- > fprintf(stderr,"Unable to open special file %s\n", str );
