LyX Developers,

The MCNP code recently released a total refresh of its theory and user
manual in support of the upcoming version 6.3 release, which has been
converted to be wholly reliant on LyX.  The manual is available at the top
of https://mcnp.lanl.gov/manual.html with older versions below it available
for comparison.

This manual is maintained by a cross-platform team whose members have
varying degrees of comfort with LaTeX, making its use challenging for some,
so LyX provides an excellent balance of accessibility and capability.

While I don't challenge you to read this 1,078-page document, I do
encourage you to read section 2.1.1, which describes the history of Monte
Carlo particle transport generally and the MCNP code specifically.  I hope
this section is of interest from historical and technical standpoints.
Note that the MCNP code was first released in the late 1970s and is one of
the most recognized codes in its field with well over 10,000 worldwide
users.

Thank you for all that you do to maintain and grow LyX, and please
recognize its importance and impact.

Please contact me with any comments, questions, or concerns.

Thank you again,
Joel
