Howdy, :-)

Thanks for your feedback!

> How long ago was that written, In the TeXShop section you say ``TeXShop is a TEX previewer for MacOS X, Apples new Unix-based operating system for the Macintosh. It uses teTeX as an engine, typesetting primarily with pdftex and pdflatex. The pdf output is displayed using Apples internal pdf display code.''

I update the page and included your info! I hope this is better now!?

Thanks a lot,
