One of my users has hit the TeX capacity exceeded, sorry
[main memory size=65531] and the program suggests that
it can be enlarged. :-(

The user has a roughly 100 page document with lots and lots of
BibTeX references, and a fair number of tables. 

Are there any known TeX style "tricks" to economize on memory use before I
investigate enlarging the program? (which I don't even have sources
for any longer).

If it comes to enlarging it, do people generally have a second, "large"
version only to be used when the normal one fails?

[the target machine is an SGI 4D/320S.]

Please reply directly to me, I don't regularly read this list.

Thanks, John
