I am having a problem with MF for the Amiga. I cannot seem to get it to run! I have 1Mb RAM and I have memtop and memmax set to 100000 and it says, when run, that "Insufficient Memory (5)!" Can someone please elaborate? _______________________________________________________________________________ Alex Krooglik krooglik@ecr.mu.OZ.AU Chemical Engineering 1991 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I haven't run MF on the Amiga but I have run TeX (PasTeX that is). You probably need to REDUCE memtop and memmax. If I remember rightly, memtop/memmax specify number of long words ie 100000 means it is trying to grab a 400k block of memory. -- Please note "ReplyTo:" field in header; "From:" field is incorrect.

If you don't use a BigMF, you can't set memmax/memtop to 100000 ...and for BigMF a`memoryword' is _two_ long words, i.e., it tries to grap 800k out of 1MB only for the main mem! Don't use a BigMF unless you have at least 1,5-2MB RAM. -bernd
