Interestingly, I first learned of LyX in the comp.sys.next.* groups, a person asking if it could be made to run there...
and you replied:
That was my point -- I was not sure, whether something so small as NeXT can be made to run full fledged X-application of these days.
Actually, as I recall, the consensus was that one could probably make it work, if one could've located an updated X Window application / implementation (they were pretty much all commercial then, and getting the updated version was really pricey), but why bother since NeXT provided one of the premiere TeX environments (Display PostScript, TeXView.app) and that one of the coolest TeX interface programs (Dmitri Linde's InstantTeX) had just become freely available. I've got .pdfs of the manuals for both of these up on my web site, http://members.aol.com/willadams (still updating it though)
Alan Hoenig's wonderful book _TeX Unbound_ is in many ways a paean to the virtues of running TeX in NeXTstep.
So there :/
