Neither tex2lyx and reLyX have a GUI, so no win32 modifications should be necessary. They should just work. reLyX is a perl script, so you'll need to have perl installed on your machine for it to work. It (reLyX) should be bundled with your 1.3.x distribution. tex2lyx is meant to be the eventual successor to reLyX. It is written in C++ and so must be compiled. Do you have a compiler environment installed on your box? If so, then you'll find it in the 1.4.x development tree (it hasn't been officially released yet.) To get it, follow the instructions at http://www.devel.lyx.org/cvs.php3 This second option is NOT TRIVIAL and will take considerable effort to get up and running (feel free to ask what to do if you choose this option.) I suggest therefore, that you ascertain more precisely what is going wrong at the moment. "... if I try to import it with LyX as a LaTeX file, I always get an error" is not very descriptive ;-) -- Angus
