TeX is designed with static allocation (no mallocs) so all memory comes from static pools. The only way to enlarge pools (IIRC) is to rebuild TeX (not trivial at all) with bigger constants. However, something looks fishy, as the last time I got this error was under some old TeX in DOS (when you had real memory constraints). Under Linux (or any Unix for that matter), there is no reason to build TeX with small pools since we use virtual memory. Also, the big pool memory isn't "wasted" if unused (since Unices and Linux are overcommiting memory). So I guess something in your macros is "eating" TeX memory (some endless recursion maybe?) -- Oron Peled Voice/Fax: +972-4-8228492 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.actcom.co.il/~oron 3Com only purchased rights to the numbers '3' '5' and '9', Intel owns '4', '8', '6', and '2'.
