Subject:      What size TeX?
Status: R

On 22nd December 1993, Bernd Raichle <Raichle@INFORMATIK.UNI-STUTTGART.DE>
wrote to the list suggesting that a section be added to the LaTeX2e
installation which gives minimum recommended values for TeX's size
parameters.

Is there any chance that this will be available in the near future?
I'm currently struggling to find the correct values of the hash parameters
for PasTeX for the Commodore Amiga, and OzTeX on the Mac. I think PasTeX
has the hash size set at compile time, so its not that easy to change.
I need a definitive answer on the sizes before asking the author to make the
necessary changes.


The new LaTeX2e distribution seems very powerful, but eats memory and runs
more slowly. The price of progress, I suppose.
