[tex-live] Fwd: TeX and Mac Os X

[Gerben Wierda]

There is a mailing list for TeX on Mac OS X:

> For additional HELP, send email to <info@email.esm.psu.edu> with
> "help" (no quotes) in the body.

Furthermore, there are various frontends, amongst others TeXShop:

http://www.uoregon.edu/~koch/texshop/texshop.html

And finally, there is an easy installer for TeX (and ghostscript, e.g. 
for legacy projects using eps images) which can be found on

ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/comp/macosx/tex-gs/TeX.dmg

This one combines TeX Live (recent code) and a teTeX texmf tree. There 
is also a teTeX binaries + teTeX texmf tree available on the same site. 
Currently, most TeX frontends on Mac OS X make use of (or link to) this 
binary distribution.
