[OS X TeX] Long Division redux

[Thomas Rike]

Thanks for the reply Herb. It didn't work for me though. I got this  
error when I tried to Typeset polynom.dtx  ! LaTeX Error: File  
`polynom.sty' not found.
This is the LaTeX that it was trying to interpret.

%<*driver>
\documentclass{ltxdoc}
\usepackage{hyperref,polynom}

\DisableCrossrefs
\OnlyDescription

\begin{document}
     \DocInput{polynom.dtx}
\end{document}
%</driver>

The actual macro is not that important to me. I just want to  
understand what to do whenever I get these .ins and .dtx files.
