I received CTeX from the TeX distribution tape and got it compiled on my Atari ST without _any_ problems. But it is _huge_!! How is one supposed to use it on a small machine (1 Meg memory/35 Meg hard drive)?? Can all of the Static memory allocations be changed to dynamic memory allocation at run-time (as opposed to compile time as it is now)?? Without a core dump facility and undump, how do you run the thing? I have been helping with getting real TeX working on our Sun 3 network, but do not really understand everything that goes on 'inside'... HELP!!! Thank you in advance.
