Based on discussion regarding the configuration process on lyx-devel, I started working on a generic "file opener" for Unix, ala "open" on OS X and "start" on Windows. A first release is ready. I've tested it on a number of different things, including using it to launch all my viewers from LyX.
You can get it from <URL: http://www.mired.org/downloads/open-0.1.tgz >. I'd appreciate comments and feedback. <mike -- Mike Meyer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent Network/Unix/Perforce consultant, email for more information.
