mailing-list for TeXmacs Users

[Ingolf Schäfer <address@hidden>]

Hi,

sorry to add to this, but the issue of installing X11 on Tiger is  
actually something like a faq:

http://forums.macosxhints.com/printthread.php?t=39069

and here

http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/ 
FAQ_Openoffice.org_and_NeoOffice#Q6:_What_is_this_X11_thing_and_how_do_I 
_install_it.3F

I think that this mailing list should not be the place to discuss  
operating system issues. (This was not meant to be any sort of insult.)

Yours,

Ingolf
