Without any knowledge of Don's compiler, it is my guess that the restriction is not in Fortran, it's in the compiler. Many things in PMX (and M-Tx before I dropped Borland Pascal and p2c from the supported platforms, and even MusiXTeX itself for that matter) are restricted by the desire to retain compatibility with (by modern standards) rather primitive computers and software --- some of which have a 64K restriction on any one addressable structure, caused by the design of the ancient 8086 chip. Personally, if someone came to me today with the source language of PMX and M-Tx specified and asked me to write a system from scratch for compiling it to MusiXTeX, I would use Python for both. Everything in one program - no user-specified intermediate calls to tex, musixflx etc. Extremely convenient character string handling.

I've discovered yet another issue, one that has nothing to do with the number of voices but rather simply with the length of the file. There's one point where PMX copies the entire input file into a single character variable acting as a buffer (after stripping all blank lines). The length of that variable is limited to 65536 characters by my compiler. Without any fortran knowledge nor programming experience I'm surprised with the 64K size limit of _string_ variables (or does fortran really have a _character_ datatype having size expandable up til 64K?). Just a thought: could string arrays come in as a replacement of 'flat' string variables? Ie. fill up an array item up til the 64K and then go on the next array item. I suppose that'll complicate handling the stored data, though. Hermann's file exceeds that length in bar 107. That's the reason for the problem he reported below. I haven't decided yet whether to try to fix this one. Since I can't simply lengthen the buffer, increasing the allowable file length will take some heavy-duty programming. At a minimum I'll put a check in PMX and send an error message if the capacity is exceeded. I'm surprised this hasn't come up before now. --Don -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:tex-music- [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Hermann Hinsch Sent: Tuesday, April 01, 2008 6:46 AM To: Werner Icking Music Archive Subject: [TeX-Music] M-Tx-PMX-Problem About a fortnight ago I got the valuable help from Don, Christian, and Hiroaki concerning my project typesetting a psalm with 12 voices and B.C.

Re: [TeX-Music] M-Tx-PMX-Problem
Hello Hermann,
Are you aware of the M-Tx warning messages Possible unterminated
TeX literal?
They are caused by '\chu {-2}\ ' and '\chl {-2}\ ' in your mtx file.
You should remove surplus whitespace like '\chu{-2}\ ', etc.
Now I'm trying to modify PMX with nm=13, using g77 compiler of MinGW5.
Best regards,
