I just built amslatex, using a fair number of the available fonts, but not all, and preloading only a little more than was done in preload.ori. The resulting fmt file is about 650K, compared to about 450K for ordinary lplain. I then built a preloaded version using undump. The resulting file is over 4 megabytes! (It does work, as does "tex '&amslplain'".) Is this expected? If so, why is it so big? The platform is a sparc station running SUNOS 4.1. The core dump from running virtex was 12 megabytes. The version of undump is one of the ones on labrea.stanford.edu. (Would a different undump produce a smaller executable?) --Mark
