Synchronization from iTeXMac to AlphaX uses a shell script also named 
AlphaX shipped with iTM that calls alphac with the correct syntax

Synchronization from AlphaX to iTeXMac relies on a file given by an 
Alpha developper to a user (I don't remember exactly) The aecom.tcl 
file was expected to be shipped with recent versions of AlphaX, it 
might not.

If the synchronization from alphaX to xdvi is now available, it can 
certainly be extended to iTeXMac, by customizing the appropriate file.
BTW, this feature was not available in AlphaX when I worked on it, may 
be it is now.
