Dear Luis and Angus, >> Beware: Win98 is not %* aware; you need to state the usual set of >> variables, like %1 %2 ... In a nutshell, you need a lyx2lyx.bat file in >> /Resources/lyx/lyx2lyx, with a single line:
Yes, you are right. I have played with the script came with the new tex2lyx. The old distribution (I see) cannot handle the new format produced by tex2lyx. It is obvious. With the %* stuff I have the same, I had to modify the configure script to get it work. I have not complained about its state, it is simply works. I am not a pyton expert therfore I cut in the output of the script. >>>http://wiki.lyx.org/uploads/LaTeX/tex2lyx/tex2lyx_win32_27sep05_throwing.zip >> makes those silly exceptions as Angus explained. > > Also great!
