cwsdpmi is needed ONLY if you run under native DOS, i.e. NOT in the DOS
window of Win9x or WinNT.
In case of (you have a 386 under native DOS), cwsdpmi.exe (to be put in
the path) is provided at ftp://ftp.lps.u-psud.fr/musixtex/musixflx (or
in that neighbourhood).
But the musixflx.exe provided requires the math coprocessor. Does not
work without.
