[Mac OS X TeX] Re: ghostscript from the command line with XFree86 ?

[Aaron Seitz]

<x-flowed>Dear Paul,

I do not know if Ghostscript 7.0 works with the versions of teTeX 
installed with TeXShop. I am a bit of a hack and I found it easier to 
install two copies of teTeX, one in my /sw directory, which I use with 
XFree86, and another which I use with TeXShop. I have also been unable 
to do much testing since the tex + ghostscript option in TeXShop has not 
been working for me. No matter which option I check, pdflatex always 
does the compilation. Hopefully someone who knows more will find out the 
answer.

Best,

-Aaron
