Hello. We are running Unipress EMACS and TeX 1.3 on VMS 4.5. I have a KEPTEMACS hanging around. When I do $ dviqms foo (to translate foo.dvi to foo.bit for a QMS laser printer), I get the error message %DCL-W-ACTIMAGE, error activating image TEX$:DVILG12.EXE -CLI-E-IMGNAME, image file HSC000$DUa):[TEX]DVILG12.EXE;1 -SYSTEM-F-EXQUOTA, exceeded quota If I kill my EMACS, this no longer happens. Some more clues ... I get analogous problems when I run YACC (regardless of whether there's an EMACS hanging around) and when I try to do a M-x shell from within a KEPTEMACS. What's causing this? What quota am I busting? Our systems people have looked at this, and have been unable to figure out how I can avoid this problem. They suspect it may be a sneaky interaction of several quotas being exceeded. Thanks.
