That is not a LyX file at all. It is a control file used by CVS: The
Concurrent Versions System. I've never used CVS so do not know if that
file by itself is all you need, or you need to do something with it. But
you could start with "man cvs".

Thanks, Richard,
If I understand it correctly, the version control is for the owner and
if he wants to share it with somebody else, he has to send a copy to
the receiver. He might work on it, send it back and simultaneously get
his own version control. Furthermore, one has to stick to the same name
in the version control (working file), I guess. Will try it this way.
This is the version control protocoll:
RCS file: SP-Witte-WE.lyx,v
Working file: SP-Witte-WE.lyx
head: 1.1
branch:
locks: strict
we: 1.1
access list:
symbolic names:
