Fran�ois, For installing the preprocessors, the first thing you should do is visit the Icking Archive's software pages and download the UPDATED version of the Install Guide for Windows. This version takes into account the changes in the structure of the zip file which contains the installation files for everything except raw MusixTeX. After you've followed the instructions in that guide, both MusixTeX and the preprocessors will be installed and ready to use on your computer. You do not need to "install" either MusixTeX and the preprocessors in the actual editor. All you need to do is tell the editor where the TeX programs are that you want to run on your files. I sent you a mail off-list a couple of weeks or so ago in which I mentioned how to do this in WinTeX 2000. Here's a repeat in case you no longer have that message: To create a link to Musixflex: Go to the View menu, click Options, select the TeX Programs tab, click Add underneath the list of installed TeX programs. Next, on the right side of the tab, type "musixflex" in the name field. In the Commandline field, type the path to your copy of musixflx.exe in the following format: c:\localbin\musixflx.exe %f (you will need to change this to reflect the exact location of musixflx.exe on YOUR system. Don't forget the "%f" at the end. Select a function key from the drop-down list in the Shortcut field. Check the "force execution on current file" check box. Check the "show button" checkbox. Click OK at the bottom left of the dialogue box to save the changes. To make the preprocessors available, go through the same procedure for pmxab.exe and mtx.exe. (Note: You may need to do this for tex.exe as well. I can't remember whether WinTeX 2000 comes preconfigured with a shortcut for TeX as well as for LaTeX, BibTeX, etc.) Now look at the WinTeX 2000 button bar. You will find a new buttons there for every executable you specified in the above procedure, and the labels on the buttons will contain the text you typed into the "name" field for each of them. You can now invoke these programs (= run them on whatever source file happens to be in the foreground in the editor) either by clicking on the buttons or by pressing the associated function keys. I hope this sorts you out. Eva _______________________________________________ Tex-music mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://icking-music-archive.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
