Yes, that sure does work! Thanks.
I had just arrived upon:
texi2pdf /usr/share/info/tar | open -f -a Skim
But then realized that I don't have a TeX binary installed, so that won't work.
A followup question, then. Is the huge (752 MB) MacTex-2007 package
the only appropriate thing for me to use to install TeX on my
machine? Or is there a TeX-Lite type of package that could be
installed?
