[comp.music] MuTex sites??

reberhar@inf.ethz.ch (Rolf Georg Eberhardt) (05/17/91)

Hi

I've heard of a library for TeX which does simple music printing.
Am I talking of MuTex ? If yes, where can I ftp'it from ?
Are there any alternatives (need it only for _simple_ printing
as part of a report).

Thanks

MuTeX is a more or less standalone package. I guess you can use it within
other TeX stuff, but I assume you might have troubles if you use LaTeX.
Anyway, here is how to get it:

How to get MuTeX.tar.Z and MuTeXfonts.tar.Z from the archive at
	Dept. of Computer Science, Utrecht University:

NOTE: In the following I have assumed your mail address is john@highbrow.edu.

    Of course you must substitute your own address for this. This should be
    a valid internet or uucp address. For bitnet users name@host.BITNET
    usually works.  

by FTP: (please restrict access to weekends or evening/night (i.e. between
about 20.00 and 0900 UTC).

    ftp archive.cs.ruu.nl [131.211.80.5]
    user name: anonymous or ftp
    password: your own email address (e.g. john@highbrow.edu)
    cd /pub
    don't forget to set binary mode if the file is a tar/arc/zoo archive,
    compressed or in any other way contains binary data.
    get TEX/MuTeX.tar.Z
    get TEX/MuTeXfonts.tar.Z

by mail-server:

send the following message to
mail-server@cs.ruu.nl (or uunet!mcsun!hp4nl!ruuinf!mail-server):

    begin
    path john@highbrow.edu (PLEASE SUBSTITUTE *YOUR* ADDRESS)
    send TEX/MuTeX.tar.Z
    send TEX/MuTeXfonts.tar.Z
    end

NOTE: *** PLEASE USE VALID INTERNET ADDRESSES IF POSSIBLE. DO NOT USE
ADDRESSES WITH ! and @ MIXED !!!! BITNETTERS USE USER@HOST.BITNET ***

The path command can be deleted if we receive a valid from address in your
message. If this is the first time you use our mail server, we suggest you
first issue the request:
    send HELP
