Hi!

Thanks for your opinions on `LargePMX'. 
So that's two votes in favour of the modified version, and one against. 
I find Dirk's argument convinving that a newbie user is hardly likely to
use such a large number of voices or slurs. For this reason, I won't
make any changes to the released archive now; that gives me some time to
think about possible solutions. 

It might be possible to make the nm parameter modifiable in the C code
after all. The basic idea is to find out where the nm value has been
substituted in the C code generated by f2c and write a script to alter
those numbers in <pmxab.c>.  The easiest way to do this would certainly be
to write a Perl script. Does everybody interested in a higher nm value
have a Perl interpreter available? Otherwise I think I can work out a
short C program. 

Warmest Regards,
Stefan.
