No =20 idea if it works or not; I don't like installing stuff from .pkgs :). Ideally, I think each program should bundle its own MDImporter, using =20= that program's UTI, even if the importer has identical code. For =20 instance, iTeXMac and TeXniscope could each bundle a DVI importer, =20 since each can claim that UTI; however, only the program that owns =20 DVI on your system would import it (at least, I think that's how it's =20= supposed to work). My DVI importer is available under a BSD license, =20= if anyone's interested. Adam= |
