Sure. The only reason I added the script to the wiki page in the first place was because Ruurd's Windows port used a Bourne shell script solution that I wrote. Unfortunately, the Bourne shell utilities used by most Windows users proved to be too buggy to be used, so I rewrote the script in python. Thereafter, I put the script on the wiki because I have no control over when Ruurd releases his port, or indeed what he puts in it. LyX 1.3.6 and above will run out of the box on Windows, (albeit with more bugs than on Unix ;-)) and so we'll have less need of such workarounds. As for version numbers, these things are all in a cvs repository. It's trivially easy to retrieve each and every change to the file, but all that is circumvented if we upload to the wiki. Maybe someone with 5 minutes spare will remove the uploaded file from the wiki and add a link to the viewcvs page above? -- Angus
