[OS X TeX] Placing eps figures

[George Gratzer]

Claus,

I installed your macro into TeXShop.

Changed the application name to Adobe Illustrator CS.

Ran it.

Got the message:

AppleScript Error

Can't make file
"2G4:Users:gratzer:Library:TeXshop:Scripts:setnamets.scpt" into type  
alias.


Of course, 2G4 is the name of my hard disk.

setnamets.scpt  was copied from your TeX page and placed in the  
appropriate directory.

In the script, I changed the name of the application to "Adobe  
Illustrator CS".
