I am trying to run PiCTeX and AMS-TeX at the same time, but the program I use 
(OzTeX, a PD program for Macintosh) has a hash size of only 2500 entries -- not
enough to load all three macro files (amstex.tex, amsppt.sty, and pictex.tex).
I keep getting TeX's most dreaded error -- "TeX capacity exceeded."
Can anyone think of a way I can load all of these macros in *without* changing 
the source code for OzTeX (which is in Modula-2, a language I don't understand
well enough to find the relevant constant) and recompiling (a nontrivial 
process in itself, at least on a Mac)?  Or are any of the readers familiar 
enough with Modula-2 to be able to do this for me?
