In Wierda's distribution go to /Library (that is, the root Library, not 
your Home Library); there you will find an alias (link) to teTeX, and 
follow this path:

teTeX->share->texmf->doc->latex->base

In this directory you will see clsguide.dvi. Drag-copy it to your 
desktop, for example (you can't typeset it in that directory).
