If you are using the postscript terminal, then emtex will not need any memory, since you will be using something like dvips to print the file (using \special in the TeX file). You need to indicate the output device. If eps is acceptable, use dvips from Rokicki as your driver. If final print is on a HP, you could use GhostScript to get there: LaTeX -> dvips -> ghostscript -> HPLJ. You may be able to save some memory with the eepic terminal--it uses tpic specials (but I'm not at all certain on the memory thing here). Can you use the emtex terminal? This may save some memory since the emtex terminal uses emtex \special's (but then you must be using one of the dvi drivers from the emtex package). Finally, if you have a 386, you can use tex386 beta 8 from the emtex distribution. In my limited tests, tex386 (a bigtex) is as fast as tex186 or texp (texp is OS/2). If you are very patient, the bigtex btex186 (or btexp for OS/2 1.x) will work (Give btex186 an extra meg of extended mem). --darrel hankerson hank@ducvax.auburn.edu
