It was a slow weekend so I ran ftnchek on PMX. Amid the >1000 lines of output I did find the explanations for the strange behaviour with fermatas and moved-dots in g77-compiled versions: I had neglected to initialize two particular logical variables. Once fixed, the .tex from the g77-compiled version is just right. (Who knows what wierdness lurks amid 16000 lines of amateur code!) Sorry about the confusion this has caused. Cross-platform team members should probably wait for version 2.2 before stepping back into the fray. Shouldn't be too long a wait. The new version will have facilities for inserting pauses, tempo changes, and repeated sections in the MIDI file. --Don Simons
