'z' is after 'x' but there is 'y' in the middle. :-) In a sense lyx ir our "trade mark" and I think we should not dilute that with another suffix like lyz. That is why I had propose that if we go with another suffix we keep the ending lyx ([^\.]*lyx using a regular expression form). > Remember, if you have file.lyz and file.lyx in the same directory, > unpacking file.lyz will overwrite file.lyx.

At least to me this is a secondary argument. :-) > Bo -- José Abílio
