it seems appropriate for LyX to develop an "import" feature in order to gain their support. They already like Linux' stability. But need this one enhancement to provide sufficient motivation for the switch.
SWP does *not* use standard latex. They *have to* 1. save to "portable" latex (does not help much) 2. put the files to a standard latex environment. 3. compile, most likely, they will have to - remove all tci stuff - remove tci defined macros, commands, whatever. there are a bunch of them - if they are unlucky, remove all figures. 4. after latex can be compiled, import to lyx. This is the exact reason why I do not use SWP, and I do not recommend SWP to anyone either. It is of course possible to find out exactly SWP does to its latex files and filter them automatically, but I do not think that the lyx community would have the resource to do that. Bo
