Olivier, I don't think you were involved back in the "(good) old days." What Dirk said is right: there were only two types of slurs. What he didn't mention was that you could only have one of each type turned on at a time. But this was REALLY old. The oldest version of PMX I can find is 1.36 dated 4/98, and it allows slur ID numbers, so the "s&t only" days were before that. The oldest M-Tx I find is 0.52 dated 10/98, but it may have started earlier.
