[OS X TeX] Fink and LaTeX2HTML question

um...that sounds great. so I indeed find it and run through the installer
and it appears as if by magic in the plugin folder for my Acrobat 5.0.5 app.
But, the program itself ignores it as a plugin- it doesn't appear in the
plugin list nor do the filters show in the SAVE AS command. What version do
you run? We're talking OSX 10.1 here, right? (The web site says OS9, but
happily sought out the right Acrobat version.)

thanks..this could be cool, but I gather maybe slow?
