I did not particularly address you. Hmmm, what was the reason I was working on LyX (if you would call it that)? > I do not have an infiinite amount of time to spend on it. Well, PNG image support will mean previews will be much more fun, and their loading will not spend an infinite amount of time... > On a more positive note, John Levon has an almost working Qt > frontend. That will "just work" with PNG. Hmmm. Image loading will depend on the toolkit used? -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
