i'm installing lyx on a windows 98 pc. i used the port at
http://www.home.zonnet.nl/rareitsma/lyx/. apparently this is more up to
date than claus' one. it doesent require you to install x as well which
is a bonus. is this a good port to be using?
the first problem i've had with this port is tha

No! latex does not read the contents of these directories. It reads a

someone using Windows (who will read it with acroread), so I always check
whether a file displays properly in acroread. Of course, that is not 100%
foolproof, because occasionally the Windows and Linux versions of acrore

lgrind (see on CTAN) pretty-formats most codes, including Perl:
#lgrind -s

C++ (CC) PERL (pl)

Needs external processing of the pieces of code, and inclusion

Package options allow to tune the layout.

inserting the \lgrindfile tag seems to muck up the rest of my document.

this is not very convenient,as it means that lyx inserts a reference to
