This involved installing a previous version of GS (8.0.0) as a normal user (partly failed) and then installing and deinstalling GS 8.51 with root privileges and a few cups of coffee. OK I know now why: The uninstaller of GS deletes only the first entry of the registry. That means it uses the EnumRegKey command tocheck for the version number. In your case it finds 8.0.0 so this one is deleted and the entry of 8.51 is still in the registry. I notice that under Windows the presence/absense of a gs installation is mostly correct under the systems software management system system settings - software. My guess is that the proper way of detecting installed software involves some other database or other entries in the registry other than HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/AFPL Ghostscript. I'll try if I can locate an installed GS via the registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ only if this was successful I'll read the path from HKLM/SOFTWARE/AFPL Ghostscript.

Re: GSview/Ghostscript problems
But anyway another user reported me that old GS (de)installers don't delete the registry keys correctly so that my installer find wrong versions. I'll check this and if this is the case I'll change the code so Let me clarify this: Normally the AFPL Ghostscript Installer/Deinstaller works as expected. However I was able to reproduce a situation where the registry entrys where not removed by GS 8.51. This involved installing a previous version of GS (8.0.0) as a normal user (partly failed) and then installing and deinstalling GS 8.51 with root privileges and a few cups of coffee. This was done on a 2nd Win2000 Box. The conclusion is that checking the registry for keys is not a safe bet wether the software is installed or not as long as there is the possibility of stale registry entries no matter how they get there. I notice that under Windows the presence/absense of a gs installation is mostly correct under the systems software management system system settings - software. My guess is that the proper way of detecting installed software involves some other database or other entries in the registry other than HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/AFPL Ghostscript.

[announce] third beta release of new LyXWin installer
Hello LyXers, Shortly after the last version I'm proud to announce the third version (0.3) of the LyXWinInstaller: https://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5117release_id=8040 (it needs some time until the download begins) Now all LyX features should work and the installer is stable enough for normal usage. Here are the improvements: --- Version 0.3 - fix bug when checking for the LaTeX-distribution TeXLive - The LyX-menu View - TeX Information works now (fix bug 5476) - files in older LyX-formats can now be opened - importing LaTeX files to LyX works now - fix bug when checking for Ghostscript - update to AFPL Ghostscript 8.53 --- The source package http://download.berlios.de/lyxwininstall/LyXPackageScripts-0-3.rar includes the language files. You could help to improve the internationalization of the installer if you translate some strings in the textfiles your_language.nsh and send it to me or to the project page. --- General Info --- The installer installs a full functional LaTeX-environment on Windows. This is in detail - math fonts needed by LyX - needed python, perl, and UNIX shell files - basic installation of MiKTeX (LaTeX-distribution) - ImageMagick (image converter) - Ghostscript (Postscript and PDF renderer) - Aspell (spellchecker) - GSview (Postscript and PDF viewer) (optional) - LyX 1.3.6 (with complete documentation) The installer analyses your system and only installs missing programs. There are two versions available: - Complete; contains all programs listed above - Small; doesn't contain MiKTeX and GSview (to reduce the download time) --- General Info --- regards Uwe

Yes this is works for me too, also when I used the one year old GPL GS 8.15 and AFPL GS 8.14 installers. However I was able to reproduce a situation where the registry entrys where not removed by GS 8.51. This involved installing a previous version of GS (8.0.0) as a normal user (partly failed) and then installing and deinstalling GS 8.51 with root privileges and a few cups of coffee. OK I know now why: The uninstaller of GS deletes only the first entry of the registry. That means it uses the EnumRegKey command tocheck for the version number. In your case it finds "8.0.0" so this one is deleted and the entry of "8.51" is still in the registry. I notice that under Windows the presence/absense of a gs installation is mostly correct under the systems software management system "system settings -> software". My guess is that the proper way of detecting installed software involves some other database or other entries in the registry other than "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/AFPL Ghostscript". I'll try if I can locate an installed GS via the registry key "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\" only if this was successful I'll read the path from "HKLM/SOFTWARE/AFPL Ghostscript". This should fix these problems. thanks and regards Uwe

Hi everyone!
I'm using author-year citation style with the apa style for the
bibliography. I am referencing articles/studies of some organisations,
like for example the "World Heath Organisation" and I would like it to
appear as "WHO, year" in the text and as "WHO, World Health
Organisation (year) ect" in the bibliography. Does anyone have any
idea which field to use? With @article and WHO as author I get WHO,

Thank you!

Try using the \citealias command.
Here's an example from my bibtex file
@techreport{FEMA350,
author = {{Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)}},
title = {Recommended seismic design criteria for new steel
moment-frame buildings},
year = 2000,
number = {FEMA-350},
address = {Washington, D.C.}
}
At the beginning of my LyX file I have in ERT
\defcitealias{FEMA350}{FEMA}
At the location of my citation I use in ERT
\citetalias{FEMA350}
Followed by a normal LyX citation reference to FEMA350 with Citation
Style selected to only give the date
The result is
"FEMA 2000" in the text
and
"Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)..." in the bibliography
Hope that works for you.

It caught me too when I did this. Something that should be a few lines ended up beeing two pages of code just to set some environment variables.

[announce] third beta release of new LyXWin installer
Hello LyXers, Shortly after the last version I'm proud to announce the third version (0.3) of the LyXWinInstaller: https://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5117_id=8040 (it needs some time until the download begins) Now all LyX features should work and the installer is stable enough for normal usage. Here are the improvements: --- Version 0.3 - fix bug when checking for the LaTeX-distribution "TeXLive" - The LyX-menu "View -> TeX Information" works now (fix bug 5476) - files in older LyX-formats can now be opened - importing LaTeX files to LyX works now - fix bug when checking for Ghostscript - update to AFPL Ghostscript 8.53 --- The source package http://download.berlios.de/lyxwininstall/LyXPackageScripts-0-3.rar includes the language files. You could help to improve the internationalization of the installer if you translate some strings in the textfiles "your_language.nsh" and send it to me or to the project page. --- General Info --- The installer installs a full functional LaTeX-environment on Windows. This is in detail - math fonts needed by LyX - needed python, perl, and UNIX shell files - basic installation of MiKTeX (LaTeX-distribution) - ImageMagick (image converter) - Ghostscript (Postscript and PDF renderer) - Aspell (spellchecker) - GSview (Postscript and PDF viewer) (optional) - LyX 1.3.6 (with complete documentation) The installer analyses your system and only installs missing programs. There are two versions available: - "Complete"; contains all programs listed above - "Small"; doesn't contain MiKTeX and GSview (to reduce the download time) --- General Info --- regards Uwe
unavailable classes
Hello, I am trying to use the curriculum vitae class in lyx and it is listed as unavailable. How to I install it or make it available? Thanks Chris - To help you stay safe and secure online, we've developed the all new Yahoo! Security Centre.
Re: unavailable classes
Hello, Put the file cv.cls in any folder under /usr/local/share/texmf/, type texhash as root and all the latex users in your machine will find the class.

LyX 1.3.6 comes with the "cv" example and the "cv" LyX layout and "cv" class. On my system, lyx also doesn't see the class: +checking for document class cv [cv]... no It is available for me at /usr/pkg/share/lyx/tex/cv.cls Should the lyx installation put these into a known LaTeX path? Or should it run mktexlsr? By the way, I searched google for "cv.cls" and found http://wiki.lyx.org/Examples/CV which has some links to downloads and examples and usage ideas. Jeremy C.

I think that Lyx is very good for mathematics but for history, sociology, etc. advantage is reduced for dificult to learn and poor tool for index entry. Analitic index is a greatest, bored and very dificult work in social science without a smart tool for it. How I can suggest this feature to the Lyx develop team? Regards Marcelo __ Correo Yahoo!

LyX and Mathematica
Hi All! I am asking a question on the list because I could not find anywhere any information about integrating LyX and Mathematica. I am using W2K OS, LyX 1.3.6-1 and Mathematica 4.1. What exactly have I to do in order to be able to use (math-extern mathematica) function? Script "configure" does not have an entry for Mathematica, however I have tried adding a path to Mathematica binaries to the LyX paths... Unfortunately nothing happens... I will greatly appreciate any help. Best regards, -- Andrzej Tomaszewski
