At my first impression the M-Tx 0.54b binary seems to work fine 
on Win98SE. 
It is a 16bit MS-DOS binary, therefore i suppose it will run 
very much slower on Win2000/xp than on Win9x.

To get a Win32 native binary, I tried compiling the C sources 
with Mingw-3.0.0-RC3 (gcc-3.2.3) on Win98SE. The procedure was:

(1) Get p2c.h from somewhere. I found it from p2c package.
http://www.ee.t-kougei.ac.jp/~nisimiya/DownloadFile/p2c-1.22-3.src.rpm
(2) Put p2c.h into the same directory of C source files.
(3) Replace #include <p2c/p2c.h> with #include "p2c.h" in all C source files.
(4) gcc *.c -O2 -o prepmx.exe

Some warnings appeared but resulting binary seems OK.

On the other hand, the Pascal source could not be compiled with
GNU Pascal compiler.
(gpc-20030209-gcc-3.2.2.i386-pc-mingw32-2.tar.gz 
obtained from http://www.mingw.org/)
I'm not familiar to Pascal so something of my trial must be wrong.

By the way, I also applied my "absolute octave assignment patch 
for M-Tx0.52" (published since Jan 2003. for details see
http://homepage1.nifty.com/kuuku/notation/mtxpatch-e.html)
to M-Tx0.54b source and got a good result. 
(I *know* M-Tx0.54b has a new preamble command "Ocatve:".)
I tried to translate the patch into Pascal but I cannot check it
because I don't have Borland Pascal and can't install p2c rpm package.

I will upload following results:
 *Win32 binary from original C source compiled with Mingw-3.0.0-rc3
 *absolute octave patched mtx.c
 *absolute octave patched Win32 binary from C source
 *absolute octave patched mtx.pas (unchecked)
to http://homepage1.nifty.com/kuuku/notation/mtx054b-w32-test.tar.gz .
