I've been trying to use pmxab to obtain tex files from the four pmx files in fairy_queen.zip in
http://icking-music-archive.org/scores/purcell_h/fairy_queen/ on Linux systems. Two of the files (p_bc, p_va) work fine. The other two produce, depending on which version of PMX and which Fortran compiler I used to compile pmxab.for (f77, f95), either error messages WARNING: Last non-blank character is "", not "/,%" ASCII code: 0 at the end of the first pass, or At line 15468 of file pmxab.for Fortran runtime error: End of file at the end of the second pass, or a segfault in the second pass. The only successes on those two files came from using f2c followed by gcc34. I've tried various versions of pmx, from 2.5.0 to 2.5.21. I converted text files using recode or dos2unix. I'm not sufficiently knowledgeable in either PMX or Fortran (and not sufficiently interested) to analyze this any further, but perhaps some of you may wish to report whether you can confirm these observations.

The link to the version 2.504 Linux tarball at http://icking-music-archive.org/software/indexmt6.html#pmx is dead, but 2.5.10 and 2.5.15 are available at http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/p/pmx/ _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list If you want to unsubscribe or look at the archives, go to http://mailman.nfit.au.dk/mailman/listinfo/icking-music-archive.org-tex-music
