I would appreciate it very much to see the most recent version of pmx included in the ubuntu distribution!
Thanks and best wishes,
Hartmut

Bob--
While working on the new complete PMX package, my going-in approach has been
to produce a zip file similar to the past, containing among other things
FORTRAN sources, DOS/Win binaries, sample files, the manual, and the
reference card. I would upload this to WIMA and announce it to the list just
like I've done with the last two betas, except that I won't call it a beta.
I'm wondering what happens beyond this, and what I should say about it in
the manual. The previous version of the manual says
" The native language of PMX is FORTRAN and its home port is DOS. The basic
distribution contains the FORTRAN sources, and binaries that will run in a
DOS
window on a PC with WINDOWS95 or higher. Availability of
ready-made distributions for other operating systems depends on volunteer
efforts; they will be posted as submitted to the software section
of the Werner Icking Archive."
and later on
" After decompressing the distribution file pmx260.zip, you should have
these files:
pmx260.for, scor2prt.for, two DOS executables pmxab.exe and scor2prt.exe,
several sample
.pmx files, pmx.tex, ref260.tex (TEX source for a command summary),
pmx260.tex (TEX
source for this file), PDF images of the latter two files. and pmx24-26.html
showing changes from
version 2.40 to 2.60. If necessary, compile the FORTRAN programs. I have
tried to keep the
source code as generic as possible, but minor modifications may be needed
for FORTRAN-to-C
translation and/or other compilers.
"Once you have assembled a full set of files, put the executables somewhere
in the path or in
your working directory, pmx.tex into the texinput directory, and the sample
.pmx files in your
working directory (the one from which you will run PMX)."
There are obviously some things that need to be changed. Can you suggest
what I should replace these paragraphs with, to make them compatible with
the new scheme of things?
