You could make a copy of the file, edit it, and point $TEXMFCNF to that directory, checking that 'kpsewhich texmf.cnf' points to the correct copy of the file. info://kpathsea/Config%20files talks about this in a little more detail. Just using a different texmf.cnf might not be enough, though; you might need to (locally) regenerate jadetex.fmt using the larger pool size. 'initex' should be able to do this. I don't actually remember off hand how 'virtex' starts up, it's possible that if 'kpsewhich jadetex.fmt' finds a local file, then just running jadetex out of /usr/bin will use the customized format. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
