I have installed AMSLaTeX with our current version of PCTeX (v3.0) but have trouble TeXing even the smallest programs. The error !TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [pool size=8135] almost always crops up. Looking at the log file, one sees that it is the number of string characters that cause the error (p44 of the AMSLaTeX Users Guide shows that one needs 8444 string characters to use the `amsart' style file). My question is: do we need to increase the pool size (it certainly seems so), and if so, how does one go about this? Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated.

Rich, now this is painfully easy! You ftp to ucthpx.uct.ac.za as ftp password your id and cd to the subdirectory emtex from which you pull the six emtex.cpio files stored there. (I got them from Jon Radel and Graham Wheeler uploaded them for this purpose) Then you uncpio the zip files and dowload them onto your PC. Then you throw away pc-tex and after generating the fonts you need, try again to install amslatex. if it still does not work you generate a format for big-latex and use this. Then you tell me where to ftp the amslatex stuff from :-)-O regards, el -- Dr. Eberhard W.
