reLyX 2.8.1.2!
This is actually an exceedingly lame checkin. I just fixed one (set of)
bugs. Namely, if you ever called "reLyX dir/foo.tex", then reLyX wouldn't be
able to find any files that foo.tex \include'd. Which is lame. It turns out
that the whole directory issue is pretty complicated. Hop
Whatever you do with the license, LyX should probably output "(C)
1995-1999". It's currently writing 1998. What if someone takes the code and
says we lost the copyright?! OK, it won't happen, but still. I would do the
patch myself, but I'm too scared to touch anything with a .C suffix (and now

That doesn't solve our problem, though. As I'm reading it, lyx is ok
with what it says, but not with what it's accepted to say

It's also been explained here, recently, that Word is *fully* capable of
so-called "document processing", but that it's bogged down bloatware
with lots of "two finger typist" support -- so that it's LyX-like features
are rarely used, and even if used, slowed down by all the overhead.

Normally, you have two files: one is read at login time (.login for

It took a while for me to piece together that this was an issue, and
exactly what was happening. Then it was obvious :)
I set those variables that are needed for other fonts in .cshrc, which
I believe is the "normal" way to do it.

to get people using LaTeX instead of stupid MS-Word.

CJK did a great job and it is an add-on package which can work with
