But my question is:  Does Textures have the memory constraints
that OzTeX suffers from?  I have a 150-page solutions manual with
at least that many figures that gives OzTeX an awful time!  Right
now I'm struggling with commutative diagrams---every time I try
to typeset them, I get an overflow message.  I'd give anything
for a BIG OzTeX!  For small projects however, it works great.
