> initex '&tex musixtex.ins \dump' The ini* and vir* names have been removed from web2c (for good reasons, e.g. to reduce inconsistencies in TEXINPUTS.progname and array sizes, e.g. main_memory.progname settings in texmf.cnf).
For getting the "initex" functionality, just use the engine of your choice, e.g. pdfetex and pass -ini, so e.g. pdfetex -ini '&pdfetex musixtex.ins \dump' or tex -ini '&tex musixtex.ins \dump' Thomas
