I just installed Unix TeX version 3.1 (based on web2c 5.8a). There is one problem, that I like to discuss. I installed two different \languages, English and Finnish. The problem is, LaTeX with two different hyphenation tables can't typeset documents, since its memory runs out. Well, there is this bigtex patch, which increases tables. The problem is, it increases all the tables, so result is, well BIG. Is there some patch, which keeps the TeX about same size, but with larger tables for several \languages ? -- Arto V.

I installed two different \languages, Big TeX's increase among other the main memory, and that's not really what you need. The thing to look for is the parameter called `trie-size' (maybe without the hyphen), which controls the size of the tables used for hyphenation patterns. That one can be increased even for versions of TeX that have to run in a measly 1M. It is somewhere in the tex.ch and initex.ch file. Just alter that. V.
