[comp.text.tex] Need bigger OzTeX

morrow@murdu.oz (Christopher Morrow) (04/14/90)

My thesis is getting a bit out of hand and I think I need a bigger
version of OzTeX to process it.  I do not have the developers
workbench so I am wondering if some kind soul out there could 
compile me a bigger OzTeX 1.2 and send it to me by BinHex and Stuffit.

I am using a MacII with 2 meg (actually virtual 8 meg) of memory
and a big hard disc.  I am coming with problems with only
2500 multiletter control sequences.  On my unix machine this is
set at 3000.  I have not been able to alter this in my Oztex build
file.

Please mail me if you can help and I will make sure any effort is
not duplicated.

Thanks in advance

(I tried to send mail, but murdu.oz is unknown to my machine.)

Increasing OzTeX beyond 2500 hash size has been discussed before, and it would
not be easy.  These numbers (2500 and things depending on it) are not
symbolic constants in the source.

If you find someone who will do this, I would also be interested.
Walter Carlip (c3ar@zaphod.uchicago.edu) was the last one I discussed
this with.
