i observe that miktex (and tex live) both offer musixtex as part of their downloadable installation. i doubt they're much good, unless there some executable somewhere that i've missed. (i really don't think so.) since both miktex and tex live are _so_ good for installations (and offer support for lots of platforms) it's rather a pity that the music&tex community haven't offered them help in getting it right. after all, any musixtex-er needs a tex system, and installing _that_ from component parts takes a strong will indeed. installing dirty great packages like musixtex, by hand, is just _so_ last century. robin _______________________________________________ [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
