[TxMt] LaTeX Bundle question

Yes - 'Watch' still seems to work okay. The problem with gv is that no  
synchronization is possible: for speed and synchronization I've found  
xdvi hard to beat  -- at least when using an editor that supports it :-)

Texniscope used to have a very nice feature that one could typeset in  
latex mode, and then Texniscope would convert to PDF for displaying,  
using dvipdfmx, but it would only convert the page that one was  
viewing and the few pages on either side. This made it quite fast,  
almost as fast as xdvi and with nicer viewing quality, but alas the  
feature doesn't seem to have been inherited by Skim, and Texniscope,  
also alas, is no longer supported.
