I suggest that you change "ln" to "mv" as it is simply a waste of disk
space leaving around tex2lyx1.4.x.exe (if "ln" simply makes a copy, as
I presume it is).
Rats, it does. I think there's a command in Win 2K/XP to create an
actual, honest-to-goodness link to an executable (one that will be
followed when executing the file named by the link), but it requires a
tool from some supplemental resource kit CD. I was hoping the port of
'ln' would do it, but it just copies the file (and ln -s just creates a
shortcut, which won't be followed). So it's either copy or rename the
executable. <sigh>
Is there a reason why it's now named tex2lyx.1.4.x.exe, rather than
tex2lyx.exe? (In other words, if I rename it to tex2lyx.exe, am I going
to cause something else to fail?)
