\maketitle
\section*{Preface}
-Compared to version 2.94, \PMX version 2.98 does not have any new functionality.
-As documented in the opening comments in the source code file pmx298.for,
-it does have several bug fixes, and changes in coding formalism to make it more
-broadly compatible with other FORTRAN compilers beyond GNU, and for translation from
-FORTRAN to C.
+Compared to version 2.98, \PMX version 3.00 has very minor changes. It provides
+an option to remove the limit of 9 on the slope of forced beams. A side benefit
+of selecting the option is that all beams will be {\it vectorized}, i.e., no
+longer created with font characters, thereby removing some very slight jogs in
+longer beams (\ref{Acommands}). It also allows 2-digit figured bass
+figures (\ref{figbass}).

+global \PMX command {\tt AB} removes that restriction for forced beams only.
+With {\tt AB} in force, the second numerical parameter for a forced beam can be

+to admit larger beam slopes. A side effect of {\tt AB} is to cause all beams
+to be {\it vectorized}, i.e., drawn rather than relying on fonts. Some may wish
+use {\tt AB} solely for this purpose, as it eliminates the occasional jogs seen
