Thanks Christian. gfortran is indeed an alternative but perhaps you need to be reminded why translation to C is important: TeXLive won't accept Fortran (or Pascal or Oberon) sources. So the reason PMX and M-Tx are distributed in TeXLive and available without compilation for all their supported platforms is that I use f2c or p2c to translate to C before distributing a tarball.
In the case of scor2prt, an unusual and apparently obsolete format is being accepted by gfortran but has confused the most recent version of f2c. This has now been fixed and a corrected version of the pmx package has been uploaded to WIMA and CTAN. It will no doubt be in texlive-2021. Similarly, with the assistance of Mike Spivey, the obc Oberon interpreter is being used to enable a TeXLive-friendly version of Dieter's xml2pmx translator. I expect xml2pmx will appear for the first time in texlive-2021.
