A little news for all the OS/2 - eCS users interested in music composing  and score typesetting.

Mup (Musical Publisher) is a little command-line program which reads an ASCII file containing specific directives and gives in output brilliant PostScript files containing musical scores with notes, staffs, clefs, tempo and key signature, with many features and facilities.

I recently ported the latest release of mup (5.5) on OS/2 and decided to publish it on Hobbes2, at
http://hobbes2.nmsu.edu/download/pub/os2/apps/mmedia/music/misc/mup_5_5.zip.

Mup is an Arkkra Enterprises ( http://www.arkkra.com ) production: a first port of mup for OS/2 was done by Alexander Mai on behalf of my suggestions on the UnixOS2 mailing list, then I took over porting on OS/2, using Paul Smedley0s build environment and GCC 3.3.5.

Together with the main program I decided to bundle this package with some third party utilities which can simplify some kind of works, like chord printing and voice splitting on single scores.

This port is the second of my porting works: I hope in the future to release more Open Source programs for the OS/2 community, using OpenWatcom and GCC. I strongly encourage all OS/2 users to donate some money to Paul Smedley and send him feedback on his OS/2 programs.
