I tried and no, Fink forces you to chose either GS or GS6. Even "easy"
unix is a pain-in-the-ass for some of us!

I'll bite (and pre-announce a little application that will be available
soon).
The reason I have been pretty silent last week is that I am working on a
new delivery mechanism for my TeX distribution. Essentially, it is a
generic package installer which is http-aware, which means that packages
may be remote. It also has an auto-update feature, remove feature, (and
many more features).
With a mechanism like this, I can split my distribution easily in many
chunks. When I finish the application (somewhere this week, I hope), it
will be available with 3 packages: TeXLive-bin (6MB), teTeX-texmf (40MB)
and ghostscript6 (maybe teTeX-bin too). But when the system is there, it
will be far easier for me to support separate additions, like cm-super,
latex2html, or whatever is my or your fancy.

Here's how to install latex2html via fink, for TeXShop users:
1) Install teTeX and ghostview using Gerben Wierda's installer
2) Install fink, and update to the latest versions by using the
"fink selfupdate-cvs" command
3) Install the fink package "system-tetex" to let fink know that you
already have teTeX installed
4) Decide if you want XFree86 or not. If you want it, install it either
via fink or from the XFree86 site. (In the latter case you need to
install the fink package "system-xfree86".)
5) Install either "ghostscript6" or "ghostscript6-nox", depending on whether
you have XFree86 installed or not.
Some TeXShop users will want to experiment with xdvi, and they will need
XFree86. Others will see no need for this, and their needs are provided
for as well. (There is also an option "system-xtools" if you have Tenon's
XTools installed instead of XFree86.)
6) Install the fink package "latex2html."
If you haven't done steps 1-5, fink will ask questions during the
installation. Hopefully the above explanation will make it clear how you
are supposed to answer.
One further remark: the most recently updated versions of some of these
fink packages, including latex2html, are in fink's "unstable" tree at the
moment where they are undergoing testing. I anticipate that they will
move to fink's "stable" tree in the next few days. So I recommend either
using the "unstable" version, or waiting a few days before installing.
In either case, be sure to do "fink selfupdate-cvs" before installing
packages.
Some people wonder why there is no "system-ghostscript." Packages within
fink work extremely well together, and getting an external package such as
ghostscript to work along with fink's packages is quite an effort when the
package is not installed by fink. In fact, the only external packages
which fink has been configured to work with are teTeX and XFree86 (or
XTools), each of which is a very large package with thousands of files
which many people have installed another way. Installing a second copy of
ghostscript via fink is not hard, and having two copies present is quite
harmless.

Please include ghostscript7 as an option too.
I don't know what the problems are that you've experienced with this,
but it's almost certainly to do with screen displays.
There should be no problem at all with using it as a filter for raster
image formats, as is needed with LaTeX2HTML.
Besides, the Mac problems will be fixed sometime, so it will be useful
to have the option available already.

On a different note, some time ago you asked about the
'encapsulated PDF' idea that I described.
This is now implemented online, at:
http://www.iciam.com/abstracts/cgi-bin/latex_read.cgi
Click in the radio-button marked: Encapsulated PDF image
and provide some LaTeX source in the text-fields below.
When it comes back with the Success!! message,
then click on: Get the PDF_file to view the (E)PDF image.
It should be pretty stable, provided the LaTeX code is valid.
Have fun!

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?

Great work, Dave.
Is there anything that you discovered with LaTeX2HTML's
installation routine that can be improved for MacOS X ?
If so, then I can update LaTeX2HTML to make this easier.

I've only run it myself in OS 9---the occasion to run it in OSX just
hasn't come up---but I assumed that since they've updated it fairly
recently, and since it doesn't say anything to the contrary, and since
it's a plug-in for the carbonised version, that it would run in OSX. But
you're experience suggests not. Damn, Adobe are dragging their feet over
OSX!
Anyone would think Mac users are paying less for the product!
Anyhow, one native solution less, it seems

Gerben,
Have you found a site to host the new version (which sounds

Last week I was busy with 1.16. I don't know if I'd be successful
here since darkwing is used by lots of our academic users,

From: "Gilbert Harman" <harman at Princeton.EDU>

I am finding that the response time in mac-emacs is much slower than that in
the unmodified version of Andrew Choi's port. Although I like the way
auctex is integrated in mac-emacs (and haven't gotten it to work as well
with the original port), I have trouble working with the slow response

Hi,
I noticed that the shell environment when calling system() from C, using NSTask
from Cocoa or using "do shell script" from applescript only includes the
standard paths.
Try issuing the command "echo $PATH" through one of these methods and see what
happens. By the way, the epstopdf script relies on the path to be set correctly,
so calling with full path-names will only solve part of your problem.

Minor but important revision:
BibDesk 0.61b is now available on
http://www.cs.ucsd.edu/~mmccrack/bibdesk.html
What is different about 0.61 from 0.6:
* Saving a file with 8-bit characters in an entry silently killed that
entry in 0.6 - This is now "fixed" - now it just truncates them like
0.5. The current recommended solution for 8 bit characters is to use the
(La)TeX encoding e.g. {\"u} for ü, until I get a solution for this
issue. (I'm working on it)
* Due to popular demand, the background color of the typeset preview is
now white. It should be easier to read. The next major revision should
contain many more improvements to viewing the typeset preview.

Subject: Slowdown in mac-emacs?
From: "Mark Guzdial" <guzdial at cc.gatech.edu>
Date: Mon, 4 Mar 2002 10:43:09 -0500
I'm having a problem with Enrico's wonderful mac-emacs: It's becoming
unbearably slow to type in. This is on a Titanium G4 Powerbook at
400 Mhz. A plain text area is fine, but I can easily type far ahead
when editing a LaTeX file -- literally, I can type an entire line of
text and then watch as the letters slowly appear in the buffer. It
wasn't this bad yesterday, so I suspect that I broke something. I'm
trying to reinstall now.
Has anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions for fixes?
Thanks!
Mark

Subject: Slowdown in mac-emacs and PATH variable
From: "Enrico Franconi" <franconi at cs.man.ac.uk>
Date: Mon, 4 Mar 2002 22:09:57 +0000
This is what I experienced as well. I tell you exactly what I have
done. This is the story: the only think I've done is to recompile the
21.1 sources with the patch provided at mac-emacs + 3 more patches
provided directly by the main author (Choi), together with a
site-start file with auctex and all the necessary packages that make
emacs more pleasant (plus the drag'n'drop facility). So I did not do
anything on the code. Probably the only difference in the code between
this mac-emacs and the standard distribution is in the 3 additional
patches, which supposedly affected the speed in typing and the bug in
the customisation menu. Please not that at least one patch is really
necessary for auctex to work (the one on sub-processes). One other
patch was meant to speed up the typing (!).
So, at this point I don't know what to do. The patches were given to
me by the author. My position would be to wait until a new version is
released by mac-emacs.sourceforge.net. I will immediately recompile it
with the LaTeX stuff and distribute it here. Do you have better
suggestions. We all know that this is released as alpha software, but
it is also true that we all want to play with carbon emacs 21! I think
it is just matter of time. Let me know your opinion.
On the other topic of the PATH not being correctly visible from within
emacs, we are investigating the fact. I call emacs with a "do shell
script 'tcsh -c'" so in principle all the tcsh environment should be
visible. For some strange reason, in this case the shell does not
source the init files as it should do. We are trying to understand
why. By now, the patch is to set the paths directly in
/usr/share/init/tcsh/rc. This is an horrible solution and we prefer
that nobody actually does it! Stay tuned.
cheers

HI
I just now (Monday 5pm) grabbed the new 1.16. On my titanium, I can not page
forward or backward: the command-. and , don't do it. (that's good, as I
never liked that) but arrow keys were supposed to do it, but they don't. I'm
in the mode where I have edited a file with pepper, saved and then typeset
with the button on the preview page. I have not set the configure for
external browser, preferring to see the explicit Open for Preview menu item.
Anyone else having trouble scrolling?

It was mentioned once before, but it would be very helpful if TeXShop
could be released with a more rigorous numbering system. In particular
having patched 1.16 shouldn't it be 1.17, or 1.16b or something?
Otherwise I get lost over which version is installed on which machine by
the users I support. This is a minor quibble about an excellent
programme! Thanks, Graham
