I run into trouble trying to run TeXtures with LaTeX on a mere
1M macintosh. The 'about the finder' tells me that the system
eats up 185k. Is that much? It leaves 1024-185=839k for TeXtures.
Some experimentation on a MacII with
multifinder tells me that LaTeXtures needs about 880k.
Recommended actions? Buy more memory? Use an older system?
I tried removing fonts and accessories from the system, but
that didn't help one bit (in fact, it helped exactly 1k).
The "trouble" may not be a memory problem at all. I have
found that TeXtures crashes when you respond to an error in
typesetting by returning to the editing window without first
appropriately quitting the typesetting window (e.g. giving
the command "x"). The crash occurs the next time you try
typesetting and TeXtures complains that it is out of memory.
I have never had this complaint except when I have failed to
exit the typesetting window correctly.
