[texhax] MacTeX Extras

[Susan Kayser]

Dear Herbert:

I had already looked at that page, and it did not answer my questions. I do know the TeX distribution includes at least one spell checker (Excalibur) and at least one equation editor (LaTeXit). Are there others in the Extras?

If I want to use any of the extras, how do I go about it? Do they need installation? Can I just double-click on them? Are they integrated into the full distribution?

Thanks for your attention.

If they are indeed extra, how do I install them and use them? For that matter, how do I know if I need them? I am a  LaTeX user, but not deeply familiar with the TeX installation.
