Two housekeeping issues: 1. There was a formatting problem in the source file pmx2515.for included in my original upload of pmx2515.zip (Thanks to Christian for pointing it out). I corrected it and silently replaced the file the next day. If you were a first-day adopter, you may want to download the fixed-up version. The original windows binary was OK and hasn't been changed.
2. I just activated links on the software page to bugfix version 0.60c of M-Tx . I deleted the links to the two prior bugfix versions but the files are still there and accessible by browsing the S/W directory. --Don Simons > -----Original Message----- > From: Don Simons [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Saturday, December 22, 2007 3:54 PM > To: 'Werner Icking Music Archive' > Subject: New PMX Beta, Version 2.515 > > I've just uploaded a new PMX beta to > > http://icking-music-archive.org/software/pmx/pmx2515.zip > > It contains two bug fixes I'll tell you about, and a few others I won't > bore you with. > > 1.
