! No room for a new \write .

Post by zer0nimo »

Hi Folks!

I encounter a problem while creating a template for a LaTeX based proposal.

I use several write-cmd's inside the template and everything works fine (except i could need more than 16 writes ...)

Now a strange Problem occures ...

My template works fine on windows machines, but don't with unix.

Is there a difference between those two? Or is this failure due to different LaTeX distributions or similar?

Thank you very much for a hint!!

I expect your windows machines have etex and the unix ones just have tex. (Check the log file.) Try adding the etex package.
