TeX is supposedly bug-free. IT IS NOT!

TeX is written with hard-coded memory limits. Last night, I changed some of the 16-bit limits in its source code. But when I typed a "make distclean", it erased my entire /usr/bin/ sub-directory! Now I no longer have a gcc proogram.

TeX Sucks!!!!!!!!

TeX sucks! No matter what I enter into my texmf.cnf, I keep getting: "TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [number of strings=51768]." I'll dance for joy the day I can switch from jadetex to a capable Open Source XSL-FO processor!

I saw that the FreeBSD Documentation Project published a 400 page users manual. How did they do it? Where is their texmf.cnf? Which DSSSL stylesheets did they use? Where's the source?
