A big hello & a happy new year to all PMX users!
First of all I must apologise for the delay in providing the Unix port
of PMX 2.1. I've been busy migrating my musixtex environment to my new
workplace, which will make things a lot easier for me (geee, those
4 gigabytes of RAM really _do_ make a difference :o) -- and I've
upgraded to the latest MusiXTeX and F2C versions in the process.
I've just put together the 2.1 release of PMX/Unix. Everything works
fine (the examples included in the PMX distribution look more or less
like they always did).
NB I've moved to a different FTP server! You can download the unix
port from
ftp://ftp.ims.uni-stuttgart.de/pub/users/evert/pmx-unix-2.10.tar.gz
Werner: would you put the archive up on your FTP server, please?

What is it supposed to look like? Works fine (at least the output is
what I expected it to be from the source code) with PMX/Unix on the
SUN enterprise I've got here. I haven't got g77, so I can't try that.
Looks like there's still some need for the F2C port ...
Yours,
Stefan.
