                   M-Tx Documentation Package

This is the development version of the M-Tx documentation.  It contains
all the sources for generating the Users's Manual (mtxdoc.?), its index
(mtxindex.?), and two sample music documents (halleluja.?, kanons.?), where
'?' might be 'dvi', 'ps', 'pdf' or 'lj'. 

On a GNU system (e.g. Linux; or Cygwin running under Windows) you need
to change to some empty directory and unzip a file with a name of the
form mtxD????.zip (use GNU unzip with the -a option, or some other
unzipper that can convert text files to your operating system format).
You need to have MusiXTEX, PMX, musixlyr and M-Tx already installed.

Now decide whether you will need:
 .ps, .pdf, .dvi or .lj files (go to 1); 
 only .ps or .pdf files (goto 2).


                1. If you want .dvi or .lj files

This option allows you to make any of the four file formats.  Type

  make dvitarget
	make config

to configure the option.  You can then choose between:

  make all    Make .dvi files.  
  make ps     Make .dvi and .ps files
  make pdf    Make .dvi, .ps and .pdf files
  make ?.lj   Make the specified .lj file


                2. If you want only .ps or .pdf files

You need to have pdflatex installed (any good TeX distribution has it). Type

  make pdftarget
	make config

to configure the option.  You can then choose between:

  make all    Make .pdf files.  
  make ps     Make .pdf and .ps files
 
You don't have the option of making .dvi or .lj files.
