Don't worry. I want to know about the failures. I'm sure it has something to do with the emulation of GetLongPathName (which doesn't exist natively on Win95) in the NewAPIs.h header file. We'll solve the problem eventually. > Beware: Win98 is not %* aware; you need to state the usual set of > variables, like %1 %2 ...

More like: @echo off if "%~1" == "~1" goto win95 start "Python" "C:\Python24\python.exe" %* goto end :win95 start "Python" "C:\Python24\python.exe" %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 :end > Moreover: you need the new lyx2lyx files, distributed with tex2lyx, in > the lyx2lyx directory; the 1.3.3 distribution is tuned to older lyx > formats, and won't convert the output from tex2lyx... > > > I could not found workaround for my lyx crash (IE6.0.2600+LyX > > 1.3.7cvs).

Right. One thing at a time. Angus
