Does your zipfile extractor have an option to convert text
files to local format? Otherwise, if your system does not
use plain Ctrl-M end-of-lines, netsoos.mtx might not be
read correctly.

Hi Don,

 I get the following message:
 
 ==

 == This is M-Tx 0.60d (Music from TeXt) 11 October 2008

an error on line 1 about the title keyword sounds strange: Please
check the encoding of your source file - I could imagine that you might
use utf-8 with BOM (byte order mark - the first character in the file)
or utf-16. With some programmes (didn't try it with M-Tx) I already had
problems with this...
