I have found emTeX286 to be faster than pcTeX386 on most of my files (note bene: neither is a `big' version) What prompted this was a colleague who came running in saying `Look I knew the pd version of tex was not as good as the `real' version''. I pointed out to him that there were significant differences in the needs of large tex files. thanks pat -- John Patrick Lestrade, PhD Department of Physics and Astronomy Mississippi State University, MS 39762 Voice: (601) 325-2806 Fax: (601) 325-8898
