LyX list cannot receive such large attachments. If you want the file, I will
be glad to provide it.

Thanks again for the help. Here is my progress:
1. I imported *all* the ".tex" files into ".lyx" files. I am still getting
the errors when trying to compile the main file ufsampleETD.lyx file.
2. the bash on Mac does not recognize the "tex2lyx". I reinstalled the
latest version (1.6.2) twice, and I still cannot get the tex2lyx to work. If
I try to to do an import manually (LyX > Import (plain Tex) ) I get the same
error, saying that LyX could not access tex2lyx. This does NOThappen in a
Windows environment.
I am attaching a zipped version of the folder containing the lyx, tex and
companion files.
