[OS X TeX] Macs and Intel

[Rene Borgella]

Folks:

I've notice postings from several list members re. this big change. 
I  have found the following articles to be interesting and 
informative.  Perhaps you will too . . .   I think the most 
informative of these are the universal binary documents from Apple 
and the anatech ones.  In Apple's you will find some of the 
limitations of the transition and older software (what Bruno was 
commenting about the other day).
