Howdy,

That's why I suggested making a copy of one of the files that were  
already there! The executable bit is already set for those. OK... now  
you've got go into Terminal and

cd ~/Library/TexShop/Engines/
chmod 755 FootBib.engine

and you've done the job. Hopefully it will work then.

Good Luck,
