Ok. Committed. I do believe that we're just about done. Here's the top of my immediate to-do list that I posted to Asger this morning (he was trying to distract me ;-)) 1. Enable LyX 1.3.x to spawn child processes on Windows in a non-blocking way. Code should be minimally invasive. Ignore stream redirection. 2. Release LyX 1.3.6. LyX/Win will (for the first time) be a formally-supported platform. Indeed, it looks like it will be an almost-first-class-citizen. The only thing not working will be the lyxserver. However, if we're going to stick our heads up above the parapet and say, "Look! LyX works on Windows too!", then we'd better make sure it works well. So there's lots of testing and tweaking to go before (2) becomes a reality. Many thanks for bearing with me with all this. It's been 7 weeks and 2 days of hard work to get here ;-) -- Angus
