An interesting note from DEL on a related prolem :
[ dek: I think the strings are also needed for font file names. For ordinary input files I put the special code into \S537 [which CET1 disabled] so that the Math Reviews could input lots of files. Of course there's a workaround (using the operating system to concatenate files!) but otherwise all I can suggest is a local change-file routine that tries to reclaim string space when closing files if the unneeded strings are still at the end of the string pool. You could introduce a new array indexed by 1..max_in_open to keep relevant status information if it isn't already present (see \S304). ]
ah, so we're on the righttrack just a thought .. can it be related to the synctex patch as it also keeps track of files ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
