I have written a .sym file for tgif to use LyX and epstool instead of pstoepsi. I also have a couple of scripts which allow using tgif with a native version of LyX without path problems. I am not subscribed to this list and the gmane interface doesn't allow attachments, but if you reply to this mail putting me in CC, I can, in turn, reply to it and can thus attach the above files for everyone interested here. -- Enrico
