After some kind help from Micha and Charles, I have 1.4.1 running
apparently smoothly (the screen still appears a bit sluggish, which I
recall seeing in other posts about 1.4.1--but that's not an issue for
me yet... ;-). An important problem I immediately encountered involves
the way it interprets the enumeration environment in older files.
What happens in my exams is an apparent reset of the counter after any
deliberate page break. As a chunk of my exams includes several pages
of m/c questions, this is a real problem. I have included a gutted
example exam which shows this behavior.
Additionally, a conversion error occurs some (but not all) other files
which generates the following error:
==========
daddy:/usr/share/lyx/lyx2lyx# python lyx2lyx -o /tmp/ex1.lyx
~/Chemistry/chem18/tests/e1/c8_e1_a_2001.lyx
Warning: An error ocurred in 241, <function convert_ert_paragraphs at

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/usr/share/lyx/lyx2lyx/parser_tools.py", line 35, in find_token
if lines[i][:m] == token:
IndexError: list index out of range
==========
I have included 2 versions of this (names different than the above). It
apparently stems from having code in the exam associated with an old,
non-existent chemistry drawing package. Is this something I am going
to have to clean up manually? The exams contain material I need to
access.
Many thanks,
Kenward

General instructions:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
Put your name on this test and your Scantron form!
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
\series bold
No scratch paper is allowed.
\series default
Use the exam itself for this purpose.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
Much of this test is multiple choice.
Your answers for these should be placed on the 882 Scantron form.
Be very careful to properly erase choices if you make a mistake!
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
All other answers go on the test itself.
No extra sheets of paper should be used.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
Unless otherwise suggested, there is only one answer per problem.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
Some problems have more than 5 answers given.
If you choose an
\series bold
answer that is labeled with several letters
\series default
(e.g.
the last answer to problem 5 is labeled
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
(ae)
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
) then
\emph on
mark all those letters
\emph default
for that particular problem.
