Hello everybody, I'm new to the list and before I post any question
or say anything else I would like to take a moment ang give my warmest
appreciation to the people who have put together such grate packages as
teTeX on OS X and the great myriad of front ends to let us read our
pdf's in a friendly environment. Included in my words is also a word of
gratitude to the people who take the time and offer the resources to
maintain this list, a great tool for spreading knowledge. Thank you so
much all of you, really, my best to you all!
Now to my question, a very simple one to start with. Being a
somewhat beginner TeX user on the Linux platform I grew used to dvi
files but realized they are not used in Mac OS X. I personally have no
problems with pdf's, in fact I think they are easier to handle, but I
may encounter a situation where a friend or colleague sends me dvi
output without the source. I have TeXShop installed as teTeX front end
so I cannot handle dvi's naturally but I found out that Thomas Kiffe's
tools (http://www.kiffe.com/textools.html) have a real dvi viewer for
Mac OS X. So what I wanted to ask is if it is possible to have two teTeX
front ends installed without generating any conflict; that would allow
me to read any kind of TeX output.
Thanks again to all who make TeX on Mac OS X possible and to those
who take the time to read such a simple question and, even more, reply
to it.
My best to all. Sincerely,...
Juan.
