+ 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. Make sure that everything looked for was found.
+You can then choose between:
+
+ make Makes mtx.dvi (and mtxdoc.dvi, mtxindex.dvi on the way there)
+ 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. Make sure that everything looked for was found.
+You can then choose between:
+
+ make Makes mtx.pdf (and mtxdoc.pdf, mtxindex.pdf on the way there)
+ make all Make .pdf files.
+ make ps Make .pdf and .ps files
+
+You don't have the option of making .dvi or .lj files.

+FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
+
+1. I get "make: ./prepmx: Command not found".
+
+ A: You have omitted the "make config" step.
+
+2. I have configured, but the make still fails.
+
+ A: Look at the screen output from "make config". Make sure that
+ there is a file name after each "...".
+
+3. Is there any difference between the .pdf and .ps files made by the
+ two options?
+
+ A: Yes. If you go by the second route, slurs tend to look smoother
+ and certain additional slur shapes are possible; see the PMX manual.
+ Also, the two versions look a little different on a low-resolution
+ monitor, but apart from slurs, should be virtually indistinguishable
+ when printed.
