Just to this point: I don't agree at all. I use tex for writing mathematical papers and presentations all the time (and have for more than 20 years). I am using Fink's tetex (plus the Fink packages latex-beamer, altpdftex, texshop). For me it is much more important to have a stable and working system which doesn't force me every few weeks to spend 3 days on adapting my configuration to the latest update, than to be able to follow the latest and greatest fashion of the week. Having said this, I agree that a solution has to be found that resolves the conflict between Fink and the popular TeX installations from gwtex, texlive or mactex. Since the flurry of new TeX offers for the Mac seems to be calming down somewhat, this shouldn't be too hard now. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
