Hi, Don
I did a first reading on your work, and i like it very much.
I find the adaptation in the section about installing musixtex in the
musixdoc manual very good.
May i have a few remarks?
1.
in mxinsuse.tex: I think this line should be removed:
"Caution: any path name that contains spaces must be surrounded by double
quotes when entered in the the batch file."
(In the definition of the paths no accents may be used, or they will be
written twice elsewhere, as an example the def we used is:
SET TOOLS=%USERPROFILE%\Program Files\tools )
2.
The name of the distribution is "musixtex.zip" on the site and in the manual
it must be stored in "musixtex115"
What must be done on a new version, ie. "musixtex116"?
Should we change all occurencies of "musixtex115" to "musixtex", ie. the
DOWNLOAD path is then: %USERPROFILE%\musixtex\musixtex
Only a wish:
3. if you let stay a copy of mupsall.bat and mupdfall.bat near the test1.tex
file, the the user can see in 10 seconds that his installation is ok, by
double clicking on both of them.

Subject: [Tex-music] New full MusiXTeX distribution now available
With lots of effort by Hiroaki Morimoto and Andre van Ryckeghem, we now have
a new, complete distribution of MusiXTeX 1.15 at
http://www.icking-music-archive.org/software/musixtex/musixtex.zip .
The main new feature is the ability to have many more instruments than in
past versions. The price is that with larger numbers of instruments, and
also with any MusiXTeX file generated by PMX version 2.6 or later, you must
use etex rather than tex. But this is no problem at least with any recent
version of MiKTeX.
The new distribution will work for any OS but the installation manual is
tailored toward Windows, and includes numerous batch files, one for
installing and many for running the code. I believe the UNIX installation
instructions now in the archive still apply. It would be nice if someone
would volunteer to create an installation manual specifically for MAC OS.
Since there were so many changes in the documentation and file structure,
there are bound to be mistakes, so I'd appreciate some testing of the
installation and reports on any problems.
