Yes, it has been discussed recently.  But briefly, in DOS, in most cases the
following syntax works

echo [jobname] | pmxa .

The next release will probably have command line arguments.  I say
"probably" because the subroutine names for this are
compiler-specific...that's why I've not implemented them up to now.  I must
rely on others to deal with the non-DOS versions.  To translate this part of
the code to C or MAC or whatever, I'm afraid they will have to do more than
just push a button.

That's a good question.  I use it because it's the perfect typesetting
engine for my pre-processor: it's robust, it's adaptable, it produces
high-quality output, it's free, and the source code is open for all to see.
