[comp.text.tex] Expanding pool size

nbeck@weber.ucsd.edu (Nathaniel Beck) (12/15/90)

I often get a capacity error in Latex, telling me that I have run
out of pool space. Then I am told that wizards can tell me how to
increase this space. But the TeXbook only tells me that wizards
exist, not how to be one. So can some kind wizard tell me how to
increase the pool space.

(I know that Lamport says that capacity errors are almost always
user induced, but in this case I think not, since if I kill a memory
resident calendar program the capacity error disappears)

If relevant I am using Arbortext;s LaTeX (2.09). I also have 4M Ram
on a 386 (half ram disk, half here being wasted) - is there anyway
to tell latex to use extended memory or to make better use of my
ramdisk than for some tmp files

Thanks (as always) in advance
