[OS X TeX] Alphatk/tex

[Vince Darley]

Please note I'm just uploading a new version of Alphatk.dmg which should 
improve some of this (and remove the 'infinite startup screen problem), but 
more work needs to be done to make this completely seamless... (after all 
this is still a beta release)

It works for me, so we should be able to make it work for you too!

You probably need to readjust your tex or pdftex or pdflatex helper in the 
Config->Preferences->Helper Apps dialog.  Please see:

http://alphatcl.sourceforge.net/wikit/83.html

for some further details...

You should see the log from the tex run in the window.  Clearly somehow 
texi2html was being run instead...
