I'm having trouble to get the DVI file from my LaTeX file. Here the story:
I'm working on a program that generate a bitmap (Fractal Bitmap), each
time it plots a pixel on the screen, it also writes the following LaTeX
command in a file:
\put(X_coord,Y_coord){\circle*{1}}
X_coord and Y_coord are floats.
The program for now plots about 10000 pixels (therefore about 10000
'\put' command line in the file); it can go up to more than 1000000 points
no prob in the future.
Here is the contents of the log file:

If you really absolutely need more capacity,
you can ask a wizard to enlarge me.

I did check for the famous coordinates: 614.634...,768.293... and
it is repeated many many times (this is due to the Fractal Generator
Algorithm: Iterated Random).
Questions:
1. What is the Problem here?
2. What are the solutions?
3. Is there a TeX/LaTeX macro to check if the same command is repeated?
4. Any other infos are welcome.
Response by E-mail or in the NetNews.
Note: I am a novice TeXer.
