Hi Philipp I can't test your code right now because I just have updated my Mac OS to 10.6 which broke all the programs still compiled for PPC. However, the line end thing (line end character in Mac != DOS != UN*X) you can test easily with a tool like zip/unzip:
> zip temp.zip test.pmx > unzip -o -a temp.zip This will adapt all the line endings within a couple of seconds. The "last non blank character" with ASCIi code 114/191 message could point to some garbage in your file which is just not shown by your editor. The rest of the error message and the one on barsant.pmx looks really weird--no idea so far. As soon as I got PMX back to life on my compi I'll try your code. regards Bernhard On Nov 18, 2010, at 9:50 , Philipp Neukel wrote: > Hello Everyone > > I have been using MusixTeX for some time now because I was not able to get > PMX working at all - whatever the reasons may have been.
