[OS X TeX] print the latex source filename

[Claus Gerhardt]

(* The attached script writes the file path, the creation date and the  
modification date and the new commands

\theFile
\modDate
\creationDate

to a file filename.additions. Read this file via  
\input{filename.additions}, then the above commands and their values  
are available.

The script can be saved as TeXShop macro.*)
