1) copied binaries to `c:\lout\bin'
2) copied `data', `doc', `font', `hyph', `include', `maps' to `c:\lout'
3) set LOUTLIB=c:/lout
4) went to `c:\lout\doc\design'
5) ran `..\..\bin\lout -r3 all > test.ps'

Got this error:
***

lout:

6) ran `..\..\bin\lout -r3 all > test.ps' again

Got another error:

GOTCHA! :-)

Now I played around with `_default.pif' and `autoexec.nt'/`config.nt'.
Changing `FILES=20' to `FILES=50' solved the problem! So Lout just runs
out of file handles. Such information should make it into the docs.
