We do run LaTex with TeXtures.  It will crash with high probability if
it has anything less than about 850K.  Eliminate all INITs, TOPS,
Suitcase, etc.  Anything that reserves memory.  You can use "Init
cdev" to make the process convenient.  On a Mac Plus, you might be
better off using an older System File (before 6.0).  We run 6.0.2 on
our SEs and manage to get about 864K for TeXtures.  On my SE/30 at
home, I use 6.0.3 and get about 871K.  Like I said, anything less than
850K---forget it.
