	Files in the teTeX.texmf.local tree shouldn't be overwritten by an 
update either, that's why they bear the label "local", but the 
~/Library/texmf/ tree should be just as fine. They way I like to think 
of it is that the non standard files desired to be available to all 
system users in a multi user workstation should go in teTeX.texmf.local/ 
and the non standard files that a particular user wants to use without 
sharing with other users should go in the private ~/Library/texmf tree. 
I think that's the most organized way to do it, but that's just my 
taste...

	On the other hand, are you sure Martin that they files in the 
~/Library/texmf tree don't need "texhash" run on them to become 
available?

	Regards,...
