- But my question is: Does Textures have the memory constraints
- that OzTeX suffers from? I have a 150-page solutions manual with
- at least that many figures that gives OzTeX an awful time! Right
- now I'm struggling with commutative diagrams---every time I try
- to typeset them, I get an overflow message. I'd give anything
- for a BIG OzTeX! For small projects however, it works great.
