Far from being established, this is peculiar to abcm2ps and will completely screw up ABC2WIN (which uses ! as a line terminator). I think what it will do is generate an interpolated line with the contents of "appname:info" interpreted as ABC notes, insofar as the program can manage to do so. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jack Campin: 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU; 0131 6604760 <http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack> * food intolerance data & recipes, Mac logic fonts, Scots traditional music files, and my CD-ROM "Embro, Embro". ------> off-list mail to "j-c" rather than "abc" at this site, please <------ To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
