I've added a couple of new `engine' files for TeXShop.
XermLaTeX:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/tcsh
set path= ($path /usr/texbin /usr/local/bin)
xetex -fmt xermlatex "$1"
---------------------------------------------------------------------
and rmLaTeX:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/tcsh
set path= ($path /usr/texbin /usr/local/bin)
pdfetex -fmt pdfrmlatex "$1"
---------------------------------------------------------------------
They're quite similar to the `Engine' files I added for TeXShop with
MacTeX 2006.
But this time, when I try to use one of the new engines (I'm trying to
see if my attempt to build new formats has worked, for some functioning
value of `work'), I get a message:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Can't find required tool.
~/Library/TeXShop/Engines/rmLaTeX.engine does not have the executable
bit set.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
There is no mention of this issue in the TeXShop documentation that I
can find (it doesn't say much at all about writing new engine files).
Can anyone tell me what I need to do to set the executable bit? (and
maybe tell me what the executable bit might be?)
