UNIX AND UNIX-LIKE SYSTEMS
--------------------------

I hope that this version of the program will run without problems on all Unix 
and Unix-like systems. It should just be a matter of typing

  ./configure
  make
  make install

to get youself an installed pmw command. There is a man page that lists the
command arguments. However, the main documentation is provided only as a PDF
file in the doc directory. The reason for this is that characters from the
music font appear in the text, and I don't know of any other way of providing
text of this kind.


OTHER SYSTEMS
-------------

PMW consists almost entirely of Standard C code, and so it should be possible
to compile it on any system with a Standard C compiler and library. There is 
just one small code section that is Unix-dependent; this is the code that looks 
for default options in the user's .pmwrc file. This code can be disabled by 
defining -DNO_PMWRC when compiling the init.c module. If you are in an 
environment where ./configure can be used, running it as

  ./configure --disable-pmwrc
  
will have the desired effect.
