[OS X TeX] installing .cls and .sty for all users

[Alessandro Languasco]

I am not sure but I think that you can put the style files
you wish to share in the

/Library/texmf

folder, i.e., in the not in your Library folder but in the general one
(you find it at the same level of the Application folder).

Bye,
