This I don't understand ^^^
Have you ever communicated to me before?... When have I suggested that you
need csdpmi?? And, have you done any research on the net, where you can
easily find this kind of thing? This looks as though I had denied you
access to it, or provision of it, somehow? :-(( (See below)
Without knowing any better, I suspect that you are trying to get something
like MusixTex running, possibly without having a valid (working?)
installation of TeX running. Csdpmi would probably not be needed if you had
a working installation of Tex.
The need for csdpmi appears when you try to run Musicflx.exe out of context.
Of course, all I ever did was to make a few code changes to Musixflx. I am
BY NO MEANS an expert in the fine points of GNU code ported to PC platforms,
and the general operating system necessary to support it. For that matter,
musixflx can be compiled and run by any number of free C compilers that
don't automatically require csdpmi.
(Csdpmi is a memory manager that allows a PC memory to be treated as a 'flat
model,' and therefore gets called in when some GCC code is run, such as the
distribution of musixflx. (By the way, the distribution code is compiled by
GCC and produced by the MusixTex primary author - D. Taupin.)
Well, in case you really know what you are doing, and just having csdpmi
available on your machine will do the trick, see the links below... However,
I rather doubt that that alone will get you up and running...
To run MusixTex you need a valid, working installation of TeX (of which
there are a few...) The one I use is EmTex. Consequently, (because EmTex
also provides RSX, an alternative to csdpmi) I don't even have csdpmi
installed on my system.
Here is one link you might want to explore...
EmTex Distribution

Next, you need to have MusixTex, possibly PMX and M-Tex installed... Here is
the archive where you can get that...
GMD MusixTex Archive:
ftp://ftp.gmd.de/music/README.html
If you get that far, you might not need csdpmi after all. But, if you do,
it can be found on the SimTel archive...

However, (in conclusion), sensing your impatience and possible lack of
willingness to do the research on your own, it is very likely that MusiXTex
is not the package for you... (The difficulties are just beginning!)
You might want to try CakeWalk, or Finale, or other Windows packages that
pretend to produce music score... On the other hand, since your message to
me was so brief and 'out of contenxt' I really have no idea what you might
need csdpmi for.
Hope this helps, at least to make you a better web researcher.
