I have downloaded and installed the MAC OSX version of PMX 2.510. To test
the installation I ran PMX on barsant.pmx. This produced the files
barsant.pml and pmxaerr.dat (which contains only the single integer 0) but
no barsant.tex. I also get the error message
Starting first PMX pass

At the risk of being off topic :-) I've already got a similar problem
with the G77 Fortran compiler on Win32.
The message shows up (randomly) when I close a file after having written
something (ASCII) into it. I obtain an empty or almost empty output file.
I seems that G77 is so well optimized that it closes the output file
*before* it writes the last lines into it. The faster the computer, the
more likely the error.
The workaround I found was to open files like this:
open (unit=9, file='jollyfile.txt', status='unknown')
close (unit=9, status='delete')
open (unit=9, file='jollyfile.txt', status='new')
instead of the first line alone, when the program doesn't know if there
is already a jollyfile.txt file.
Hope you will be able to adapt the right statement of PMX.
