[OS X TeX] Re: scaling .eps figures

[Bridget Kane]

Dear Herb

Thank you !!  I was using graphics package. When I switched to graphicx, it worked fine.

With regard to other points - I quite TexShop and relaunched and it sorted the other glitch that stopped me checking preferences.

Can you tell me - how do I know which version of underlying Tex that I may be using?
Is this something I need to update independently of TexShop from time to time?

Thanks

Bridget
