[OS X TeX] Switcher 1.1

[Claus Gerhardt]

After switching (via Switcher) to texlive2005, that I installed  
myself from the TeXLive iso, though I assume that the MacTeX  
installation will give the same result, the path to tex is

/usr/local/texlive2005/bin/powerpc-darwin

Inside this of this folder are the different tex binaries, where the  
main one is called pdfetex, and the others like pdflatex are only  
symlinks pointing to pdfetex

riemann:~ claus$ readlink /usr/local/texprograms/pdflatex
pdfetex

The name power-pc-apple-darwin-current isn't used by TeXLive (TUG)  
only by Gerben's distributions. Click on Switcher's reveal button,  
then you will see the path to active tex as defined by /usr/local/ 
texprograms.
