I can't open *any* of my LyX files (all of them worked with the last
Alpha release) all I get is this message:
C:/documents and settings/nick hopton/my documents/hrule_test.lyx is
from a different version of LyX, but the lyx2lyx script failed to
convert it.
Oh shit! Could you please send me this file please?
I'll have a llok what's going wrong. For me it works.
regards Uwe
Don't worry, Uwe, it's Alpha software and I'm pleased to be testing it.
Here's a short little file (a letter) below.
Regards,
Nick.

\begin_layout Opening
Dear Sirs,
\end_layout
\begin_layout Signature
Nick Hopton.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
I am writing to complain about the lack of provision for pedestrians crossing
the roads at the junction of the Henley Road, Prospect Street, Westbrook
Road and Peppard Road.
This is the junction near to the
\emph on
Prince of Wales
\emph default
public house, in Caversham.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The junction is controlled by traffic lights but these do not allow time
for pedestrians to cross the roads at the junction in safety.
\emph on
All
\emph default
of the crossing-points at the junction pose a serious hazard to pedestrians
and the one from the Balmore Park steps across the Peppard Road is dangerous
beyond belief.
Here the view is very limited and cars travelling up Prospect Street frequently
speed-up when approaching the lights, often driving through them at high
speed even though they have turned to red.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Unless something is done, I am convinced that sooner or later there will
be a serious and possibly fatal accident at the junction.
I am not an expert in traffic-management, but I feel that at the very least
the delay on the lights should be increased to hold the traffic back in
all directions while pedestrians cross.
My preferred solution would be the installation of four proper pedestrian-contr
olled crossings.
