Haris,

I just realized that Texshop relies on the tetex distribution  
(installed with i-installer in /usr/local/teTex/bin/powerpc-apple- 
darwin7.9.0). pdflatex in that directory makes a call to pdftex. I  
have recently added gerben wierdas gwtex (also using the i-installer/ 
automatic configuration: /usr/local/gwTeX/bin/powerpc-apple- 
darwin7.9.0). The latter is called by textmate and executes pdfetex.  
In the past, I must have used the previous engine with Textmate too.  
Which is the current version of pdfetex then?

Does it make sense to send tex files if they cause trouble only with  
an outdated/depreciated engine?

Christof
