The 'about the finder' tells me that the system eats up 185k. Is that much? It leaves 1024-185=839k for TeXtures. Some experimentation on a MacII with multifinder tells me that LaTeXtures needs about 880k. Recommended actions? Buy more memory? Use an older system? I tried removing fonts and accessories from the system, but that didn't help one bit (in fact, it helped exactly 1k). The "trouble" may not be a memory problem at all. I have found that TeXtures crashes when you respond to an error in typesetting by returning to the editing window without first appropriately quitting the typesetting window (e.g. giving the command "x"). The crash occurs the next time you try typesetting and TeXtures complains that it is out of memory. I have never had this complaint except when I have failed to exit the typesetting window correctly. -- Gilbert Harman Princeton University Cognitive Science Laboratory 221 Nassau Street, Princeton, NJ 08542 ghh@princeton.edu HARMAN@PUCC.BITNET
