I mentioned "standard" in my previous mail. Has it changed to "portable" ? >>2. put the files to a standard latex environment.

AFAIR, all the tci stuff is commented out, remains plain includegraphics commands Seems that we disagree about the SWP standard latex export efficiency... Before lyx, I had frequently to recover SWP docs from a colleague, I don't remember having problems once they created the export to standard latex (before that , I *wrote* a filter to clean source SWP latex files...)
