This is part of the reason I have made the source code available. If
you have access to a FORTRAN compiler (and I guess that's a pretty big
"if" tthese days!) you can change the dimension and recompile
yourself. Also, there might even be some machine-translated
c-versions out there, although I haven't been keeping track of that.
But if there are, you could make the same sort of change in the
c-source and recompile. I'll put this on the to-do list and
incorporate it into the next version I release, but that may be quite
some time from now.

It works OK for me (?) so please send me the pmx source where it
doesn't work for you. This might give trouble at the beginning of an
input block; that's a "feature" that I might be able to fix up
someday. But I think it should work OK after the start of an input
block.
