[OS X TeX] owner and groups in teTeX

[Joseph Slater]

Well, at first I thought your install was messed up, so I compared to 
mine. Then I found out mine was messed up, except that since it works 
just fine, these must be ok. I think owner doesn't matter too much as 
long as you can read everything. Gerben would be the guy to answer this. 
I'm betting that those are the UID numbers on his machine for the user 
that builds the tree. Since the user doesn't exist on your machine, the 
number simply shows up.

Opening files in TeXShop shouldn't depend on tetex being installed. Only 
texing them should.

On another note, you're better off going directly to Gerben's stuff, 
where things are much more up to date. For tons of wonderful information 
by a very gifted person, see
