I would call these "reasonable values" rather than "minimum > recommended values". The specific problem I have is that the parameter \verb|hash_size| is too small (at 3000). In OzTeX this can be changed in a config file. 4000 for \verb|hash_size| and 3407 for \verb|hash_prime| seems OK. Unfortunately, Amiga PasTeX cannot configure this parameter from a file. Dean
