[OS X TeX] BiBTeX problems

[Claus Gerhardt]

These shell scripts in ~/Library/TeXShop/bin/ are called by the  
various (old) Applescripts of mine who rely on that path. Changing  
the location of the shell scripts would require to change the  
corresponding commands in the Applescripts.

The newer Applescripts call shell scripts that are located in ~/ 
Library/Flashmode/bin/.

I would suggest that the other users simply copy the whole bin folder  
with the corrected shell scripts in
~/Library/TeXShop/ as well as ~/Library/Flashmode, if they use  
Flashmode-downloadable.
