<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label sysmac</title>
</head><body>
<h3>Macintosh systems</h3>
<p/>The <a href="FAQ-CD.html">TeX collection</a> DVD includes MacTeX,
which is a Mac-tailored version of TeX Live; details may be found on
the <a href="http://tug.org/mactex">TUG web site</a>. If you don’t
have the disc, you can download the distribution from CTAN (but
note that it’s pretty big). MacTeX is an instance of TeX Live,
and has a Mac-tailored graphical TeX Live manager, so that you can
keep your distribution up-to-date.
<p/><a href="http://www.trevorrow.com/oztex/">OzTeX</a>, by Andrew Trevorrow,
is a shareware version of TeX for the Macintosh. A DVI
previewer and PostScript driver are also included.
OzTeX is a Carbon app, so will run under Mac OS/X (see
<a href="http://www.trevorrow.com/oztex/ozosx.html">http://www.trevorrow.com/oztex/ozosx.html</a> for details), but it
is <em>not</em> a current version: it doesn’t even offer PDFTeX. A
mailing list is provided by TUG: sign up via
<a href="http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/oztex">http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/oztex</a>
<p/>Another partly shareware program is
<a href="http://www.kiffe.com/cmactex.html">CMacTeX</a>, put together by
Tom Kiffe. CMacTeX is much closer than OzTeX to the Unix TeX
model of things (it uses <i>dvips</i>, for instance). CMacTeX
runs natively under Mac OS/X; it includes a port of a version of
<a href="FAQ-omegaleph.html">Omega</a>.

Further information may be available in the
<a href="http://mactex-wiki.tug.org/">MacTeX wiki</a>.
