[OS X TeX] mactex pretest

[Jean-Claude DE SOZA]

Bonjour à tous,

I’ve just updated my TeX installation with the MacTeX 2018 package. No problem except with TLU.app weird behaviour. 
After two crashes, and critical updates done, I can typeset my very complex French-Vietnamese recipes book without any error.
TeXLive 2018 seems also to be very fast.
