The source packages are at WIMA and the current packages are also at CTAN and texlive. The build systems for musixtex, m-tx and pmx are on my work computer, which is well backed-up, with back-up tapes stored off-site. Building m-tx and pmx packages for CTAN (and subsequently TeXLive and MiKTeX) includes translating from Pascal or Fortran to C, and building the p2c/f2c libraries. >|If there aren't, can I suggest there should be (and >|offer assistance in setting it up)?

I've been thinking about whether there would be any benefit to moving musixtex and the build systems for m-tx and pmx to github. David: What would be the "myriad benefits"? Git was designed for distributed development, which seems unlikely at this stage.
