There's a misunderstanding there. tex2lyx is currently bundled up with the lyx cvs sources. It could probably be unbundled, but nobody has tried to do so. It does generate LyX 1.4.x format files (current version number is 236, as compared to 1.3.x's 221.) However, the lyx2lyx that is part of the 1.4.x cvs sources will convert *back* to 221 format files. lyx2lyx is a python script, so it is dead easy to package that separately. Given that 1.4.0 is month's away and also given the vast superiority of tex2lyx over reLyX, it would be a *good thing* to split things up. It might be a nice mini project for somebody. Any volunteers? ;-) -- Angus
