Can someone please tell me how to extend mem_max and mem_top in virtex
as I'm getting out of memory errors on one of my pictures.

I have tried changing the declarations in ctex.ch but then I get 
"Ooops my internal constants have been clobbered" when I run the new
executable.

The TeXbook says that the memory can be extended but doesn't hint as
to the correct procedure for doing this.

Thanks for any advice on this.

The current setting of mem_max and mem_top is 262140L

Cheers.
