------------------------------------------------------------
SH: I also tried this on Win98, but with Enrico's Cygwin 1.4.1 release,
lyx-1.4.1-cygwin.tar.gz file at ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.4.1
Cygwin turned out to work ok. I stumbled into opening another instance
of startxwin before trying a viewer and then the Lyx viewers work Ok.
Lyx1.4.1 is not 1.3.7 but works fairly good. All that was needed was
follow the instructions, README and Install, included in Enrico's file,
and to increase the win98 environment:
If, after installing cygnus, you get the message:
Out of environment space
add the line
shell=C:\command.com /e:4096 /p
to your c:\config.sys
The difficult part is downloading the Cygwin files if your
Win98 machine uses a dialup connection rather than dsl and
if you have no cd player. A network card might help out. The
Cygwin X server works with lyx-x11.exe after startxwin shortcut.
