[OS X TeX] New TeX release (old style release)

[Gerben Wierda]

The real directory is of course ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/comp/macosx/texgs

And the files are:

ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/comp/macosx/texgs/TeX.dmg
ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/comp/macosx/texgs/TeXLive-teTeX.dmg
ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/comp/macosx/texgs/TL-020312-tT-b020129.dmg

If you do not use a filename length limited file system to download to, 
the official release name is

ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/comp/macosx/texgs/TL-020312-tT-b020129-200203142124.

A small error is in this installer and it will be updated asap. It does 
not set the path in tcsh on first installs correctly. For 
updates/current users, there is no problem.
