[OS X TeX] TeX and DVI via ps2pdf

Sun Nov 1 00:30:36 EDT 2020

Thanks - it's wonderful!
This code does exactly what I want! I've tried it several times with
several files, by trashing all the output latex-ing files.

Indeed, the name "latex" doesn't reveal the job behind it. I just had
missed to try it because the value in [% !TEX TS-program = latex] doesn't
mention the dvi / ps2pdf, and I see no check mark at Typeset > TeX and DVI. In
any way, having the code in the specific files is great, because TexShop
typesets normal .tex files with usual LaTeX that do not have this code.

Dick, your work is great, wonderful!

Best Regards,
Roussanka
