Finally found some explanation in the header. The prefix 3 was what
really did confuse me...
And: No more complains from LyX.

Oh yes, more fuzz, sorry. World is too confusing nowadays... :)
[What about changing the name to 'LyXlocConf.cmd' or so. There are too
many scripts called 'configure' lying around.]
The changes (lib/configure.cmd):
---------------
l. 45:
old: if \(''=SysSearchPath('PATH','gv.exe')) then
new: if \(''=SysSearchPath('PATH','GV.EXE')) then
l.60-64 old:
call SysFileTree 'reLyX\reLyx.cmd', 'found', 'F'
if found.0 = 0 then
RELYX='none'
else
RELYX='reLyX.cmd'
l.60-63 new:
if \(''=SysSearchPath('PATH','RELYX.CMD')) then
RELYX='reLyX.cmd'
else
RELYX='none'
I do not remember the details anymore, but as far as I can remember
there is occasionally a problem with case in filenames: If you let OS/2
search for Uppercase, it will also find lowercase/mixed case. If it
searches for lowercase filenames, for some strange reasons it has
problems finding mixed case. At least this was the problem on my box.
As the changed scripts did work with my installed binary release, I am
more or less confident I did not break other things.
BTW:
My diff (GNU diffutils 2.7.1, from leo) does not work with pipelines:
cat foo1 | diff foo -
diff: -: Invalid seek
Could not find another version. Am I doing a mistake, or is the port
broken? (I did not trust this thing anymore; though).
I hope the above did help somehow, not confuse even more ... :)
And: In case there are more confused souls on X/2 list like me (doubt
that, though) feel free to forward any parts herein interesting for
them to the list.

A. Hanses
