Here is how I successfully and rather simply got this and the previous
pmx test release compiled for my linux station. You need
gcc, the GNU c compiler, probably installed on most linux stations
f2c, a fortran->c source code converter. For linux users using rpm
packages a rpm distribution is found within the redhat 6.2 power tools
collection.
Copy the pmx fortran code file pmx227.for to pmx227.f and in that file
replace the two instances of 'call getarg' with the commented out
alternative line below.
Perform the fortran->c code conversion: f2c pmx227.f -Nn802 -Nx400
Compile the converted c code: gcc pmx227.c -lf2c -lm -o pmxab
Copy the new binary to where you use to store the pmx binary and replace
pmx.tex with the previous version.
That should be all. At least it works for me.
