   It's hard to belief. I just tried to make a latex with german
   hyphenation patterns. It failed; see message below.

   The pattern memory with 8000 hunks seems not to be increased for the
   german hyphenation files. My other TeXes use a hyphenation memory of
   12000. Even on my poor 'ol ST.

   This makes the NeXT TeX nearly unusable for german publications.

this, and it will hopefully work (at least I was able to use the large hyphenation table.        Erik
