Don: The Adobe Reader isn't the only PDF viewer. I recommend SumatraPDF, which is a lightweight but respectable free PDF viewer. It'll allow an open file to be overwritten and re-load automatically. Bob P.S. "there is no pmx2ps" but I could add a "stop at Postscript" option to the pmx2pdf, m-tx and musixtex scripts if this would be useful. ------------------------------- [email protected] mailing list If you want to unsubscribe or look at the archives, go to http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
