[OS X TeX] TeX i-Package released

[Peter Pagin]

Thanks for a quick reply. The symlink file (MAC OSX alias) is indeed in 
the same directory as the pdftex_ndl14.map file which it points to.

As far as I have been able to make out by comparing a computer where it 
works (with the older teTeX distribution) and the one where it doesn't 
work (with the new distribution), it appears that the new TeX is looking 
for the file in the wrong place (in 
/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current/),  but maybe that is 
just how it appears to a beginner.

Is this the problem that your proposed manual cure fixes?  Just trying 
to make sure before proceeding.

thanks
Peter
