What I personally use for all my TeXing is Fink's tetex (that is I installed bundle-tetex which also gives me stuff like contex etc.). Atop of that I use TeXShop, which I really like a lot If you are already using Fink, then installing tetex might be appealing. If OTOH you are only considering to install Fink for tetex, you might be better of to use the package found on the TeXShop homepage, for example. >Ben > >P.S.

I actually suspected that you have to use the sig judiging by the content, so I didn't mean to attack you, I just found it funny :-) It doesn't bother me so much if a mail is 1k or 2k :-) Max -- ----------------------------------------------- Max Horn Software Developer email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> phone: (+49) 6151-494890 ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: viaVerio will pay you up to $1,000 for every account that you consolidate with us. http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;4749864;7604308;v? http://www.viaverio.com/consolidator/osdn.cfm _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
