The TEX parameters determine how much memory is allocated for various arrays
used by TEX and INITEX. Note that mem_max
is temporarily set to
mem_top
whenever you run INITEX.
Comments in the Default file indicate the possible range of values
for each parameter.
The Default values are suitable for small to medium-size TEX documents.
If you decide to increase one or more of these parameters then
you may need to increase 's application memory size
(via ``Get Info'' in the Finder's File menu). Note that a change to
mem_top
, hash_size
, hash_prime
or hyf_size
will require rebuilding all format files; see section
.
