This is M-Tx (Music-from-TeXt), version 0.60d. M-Tx is a preprocessor
for PMX that facilitates inputting lyrics. It builds the PMX input file
based on a language very similar to PMX. M-Tx includes most of PMX's
functionality, but it also permits in-line PMX commands to give access
to virtually all of PMX.

The author of M-Tx is Dirk Laurie (dpl@sun.ac.za).

This package consists of

   (i) mtx-texmf.zip, which contains macros, documentation, and a wrapper script
       mtx.lua.

  (ii) mtx-0.60d.tar.gz, which contains the Pascal source code for prepmx,
       the preprocessor

 (iii) directories Windows and OSX, which contain pre-compiled
       executables for those platforms

  (iv) an mtx-install document, which is a more detailed version of the
       following:

To install (on TDS-compliant TeX systems):

 +  unzip mtx-texmf.zip at the root of a texmf tree and, if necessary,
    update the filename database; e.g., texhash texmf. Documentation for
    M-Tx is installed under doc/generic/tmx. You must use an unzipping
    program that converts text files to the text-file format of your 
    platform, such as "unzip -a ... " on Linux.

 +  *either* copy the pre-compiled executables appropriate for your
    platform (Windows, OSX-Intel) to a folder on the executable PATH 

 +  *or* install fpc, the Free Pascal compiler (if not already
    installed), unpack the mtx tarball (anywhere), move to the resulting
    mtx-0.60d directory, change the PREFIX line of the Makefile to

       PREFIX = $HOME

    if a "private" installation is desired, and do

       make
       make install  (as root, if necessary)

 +  on Windows: copy the file scripts\mtx\Windows\mtx.bat to a folder on the 
    executable PATH

 +  on any Unix-like system: install a symbolic link mtx in any
    directory on the executable PATH to scripts/mtx/mtx.lua

Documentation for M-Tx is installed under 

doc/generic/mtx
