As the title indicates, i am tyring to install Latex/Tex on a sun
sparc station.

I have followed the installation steps pretty carefully. On testing
the output prgm, i find something very interesting. 

1) latex works just fine with a letter that i wrote up.
2) on using latex on the standard supertab.tex file, i get the foll
error msg:
	> latex supertab
	This is TeX, C Version 3.0 (format=lplain 92.9.9)
	(supertab.tex
	LaTeX Version 2.09 <7 Dec 1989>
	(/usr/local/lib/tex/macros/article.sty
	Document Style `article' <16 Mar 88>.
	(/usr/local/lib/tex/macros/art11.sty)) (supertab.sty
	! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [hash size=2100].
	l.121 \def\
           topcaption{\@topcaptiontrue\tablecaption}
	No pages of output.
	Transcript written on supertab.log.
3) the same supertab.tex file runs just fine on another machine with
latex. 

can anyone tell me what i am doing wrong? personal mail might be
preferable, unless this is something that others would find useful.

thanks
