[Mac OS X TeX] \magnification error problem

[Nick Warner]

<x-flowed>Dear Gerben

Thanks for the response, but I thought that teTex
from

http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~koch/texshop/texshop.html

was using pdftex and not  altpdftex.  Are you telling me
that it is altpdftex in disguise?

If so then how do I get pdftex and run it with TeXShop,
or do I have to use something like CMacTex?


Thanks
Nick Warner
