[OS X TeX] From LaTeX to TeX

[George Ghio]

Being far from an expert I can tell you this, I learned the little I 
know starting with LaTeX. When I upgraded to my new Mac I could not 
install LaTeX and get it to work. Maarten helped me to set up my new 
machine. Well the upshot was that we installed plain TeX.

The point  being that I took my backup files that I had and opened them 
without any problems under TeX.
