Well, it was a guess. I think you're going to be obliged to cherry pick the software you want to hold on to, e.g. 'apt-mark manuel pmx'. Or I believe you can perform an 'apt-get install pmx musixtex' etc for a similar if not identical result. > Rodolfo > > -- “It is enough that the arrows fit exactly in the wounds that they have made.” Franz Kafka
