It's good to distribute infos about useful tools. Thanks Joel. I'd like to add a remark/question. Upon Gerds problem I peeked in the prepmx sources for file IO operations. The fopen commands in the p2c sources show indeed only mode "r", resp. "w" (binary), as opposed to "rt", resp. "wt" (text). Thus files are treated in binary mode. Using gcc on UN*X I never had line ending problems when using text mode. At least the glibc routines seem to be smart enough. However, I don't know how that is on the DOS/WIN side and if there is a similar feature available in PASCAL (in which MTX seems to be written originally). If so, it might be useful to apply a corresponding patch which avoids the problem in future. regards Bernhard _______________________________________________ TeX-music mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://sunsite.dk/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
