Frank,

I forgot to mention that I also got quite a few warnings [not errors] on 
2.13.3 - I think due to a missing font - but like you still got the output 
file.
Did you also have 2GB of RAM? - I understand that the amount of physical 
memory available makes a big difference in compile times on a large LP 
file.
Perhaps if I ran Linux on my machine it would really scream, but I have to 
have Windows XP for work. At least its not Vista!
