[Mac OS X TeX] TexShop, vi issues

[thomas.braun at unibas.ch]

<x-flowed>Hi

I'm using the perl-script "atchange" for automatic triggering pdftex and 
acrobat reader. You start this perl script to watch a specific file for 
changes  - so if you safe your MyDocument.tex atchange starts a UNIX 
batch (alltex) doing the TeX staff:

perl atchange MyDocument.tex alltex MyDocument

You can find more information on
http://www.gnu.org/directory/atchange.html

If there is interest, I can send you my scripts as attachment.

Thomas
