Well, THANKS.<br>
Everything worked as advertised. Nobody is asking for ntheorem anymore.<br>
Nothing like good, idiotproof instructions. <br>
<br>
I only had trouble with <br>
<blockquote>Run LaTeX on ntheorem.ins<br>
</blockquote>
Had no idea what "to run" meant plus I when I clicked once on <font
color="#3333ff"><u>ntheorem.ins</u></font> I would just get a new
mozilla file with which of course I knew I couldn't do anything. <br>
Then I double-clicked and the stuff downloaded and then I had the idea
of opening it in TeXshop etc<br>
<br>
(Rather uncommon behavior. As a matter of fact, on the Göttingen site,
clicking once on <font color="#3333ff"><u>ntheorem.sty</u></font>
behaves properly, that is triggers the download.)<br>
<br>
So now I know what "to run" means.<br>
<br>
Also, the Göttingen site also had a documentary dvi-file that
downloaded fine and that turned out to be the twin brother/sister of
the renamed, thrice LaTeX run ntheorem.drv. Amazing!!!<br>
Just another adventure of a TIC<br>
<br>
Regards and, again, thanks.<br>

It works exactly as told, except for the $TEXINPUTS bit (the meaning of
$TEXINPUTS is explained in the above file
/Library/teTeX/README.howtexfindsfiles.txt, see also
/Library/teTeX/texmf.cnf). <br>
<br>
Let's suppose you got the files 00readme, ntheorem.dtx and ntheorem.ins
from CTAN and want to install ntheorem in your home directory, in
~/Library/texmf: <br>
<br>
- Run LaTeX on ntheorem.ins. It will produce, out of ntheorem.dtx, the
files ntheorem.drv, ntheorem.std and ntheorem.sty (and also a
ntheorem.log, which isn't used). <br>
<br>
- Put ntheorem.sty and ntheorem.std inside ~/Library/texmf/tex/latex/,
for example inside ~/Library/texmf/tex/latex/ntheorem/. That's the only
really necessary bit. <br>
<br>
- If you're interested by docs, run LaTeX on ntheorem.drv (TeXShop
won't accept to LaTeX this file, you'll have to rename it to
ntheorem.tex, say, beforehand) thrice (once to create a .toc -- table
of contents -- file, twice to incorporate the content of this file into
ntheorem.pdf, and thrice to update the page numbers which may have
changed because of the inclusion). <br>
<br>
- Put the doc files ntheorem.pdf and 00readme inside
~/Library/texmf/doc/latex/, for example inside
~/Library/texmf/doc/latex/ntheorem. It doesn't affect at all the
running of LaTeX, it's just to put these files at a place where you can
find them easily in the future. <br>
<br>
Regarding the complicated directory structure of TeX, more can be found
in /Library/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/doc/help/tds.dvi (drag this file
onto the Desktop, then onto TeXShop which will convert it to PDF and
preview it). <br>
<br>
I don't use ntheorem myself, thus I can't say more. The above
instructions are not specific to it, that's more-or-less the procedure
to install any LaTeX package which is not already built-in in your
LaTeX distribution. <br>
<br>
Hope this helps, <br>
