Hi people!
Finally, the Unix/C version of PMX-1.3.8 is ready for release.
We've redesigned the installation script and instructions, which should
make installation nearly trivial on most Unix / TeX variants.
I'll upload it to the GMD archive as soon as possible. This may take a
while, however, so if you need the new version right now you can obtain it
from
http://ftp.mathematik.uni-stuttgart.de/pub/software/pmx/pmx-1.38.tar.gz
One more thing: I'm told that recent versions of g77 have no problems with
the PMX fortran source (my main reason for creating the Unix/C port was
that I was unable to compile the fortran source in the first place). This
would mean that PMX Unix/C would only be of interest to people who
- have neither a recent version of g77 nor a native fortran compiler
- find the automatic install process much more convenient than a manual
installation
I've been wondering if there's any point in continuing the C ports. Thus
I'd like to hear from people who still use them to get an idea of how many
of you there are (if any).
I've also been toying with the idea of including the M-Tx source in my
distribution so you could install PMX and M-Tx in one go (Dirk says he
can't stop me because he's released it under the GPL ;-). Anybody
interested? Again, the main advantage would be to have an install script
that puts musixlyr.tex in the right place.
Regards,
Stefan
