|When I LaTeX a file using emTeX, it only goes to four pages and then stopped

|!TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [buffer size=1024]

The system you transfered your file from had a much more generous line
buffer. There's probably a long line in the text (possibly due to a
caption or a citation) that you need to shorten.

Another common cause of buffer overflow is not paying attention to
newline conventions. If you transfer your file from Unix to MS-DOS in
binary mode this may happen, but right at the beginning.  MS-DOS is
looking for the CR-LF pair to end the line and doesn't find one.
