[OS X TeX] AW: dvips issue: j0 (jzero) necessary

[Christoph Schiller]

Sehr geehrter Herr Dyballa,

Leider habe ich noch keine Zeit gehabt, das zu testen.
Ich bin gerade dabei, die neue Version meines
motionmountain textes zu setzen; es soll not heute abend
aufs Internet.

Oder ist das Problem mit der neuen Wierda Version
gelöst? Ich habe es noch nicht installiert. Erst muss der Text
auf das Internet.

Grüße

     Christoph Schiller
