I copied tgif.exe to the windows/system32 directory, but that was not enough. I also needed some dll files in there and to set my DISPLAY in XP to 127.0.0.1:0.0 You need X running in the background, but that is always running for me.

Editing and using obj files works great. It might be nice to have an option to bundle everything into a single tar file, all your obj, eps, bib files into a single tgz file, but it is not much for me to do that myself when needed. My crazy tgif file that calls lyx for equation editing in figures does not work, but that is to be expected. The equaiton objects need unix flavored calls like /usr/bin/lyx and pstoepsi, and lyx / tgif are running in a traditional shell. Thanks!
