Stephen, I did not mean to imply anything with you, and I was just joking (see all the smileys?). That .bat files were the ones I needed to make a native LyX work with all cygwin apps. What I was trying to say is that, unfortunately, there exist so many possible configurations (mix of native and cygwin apps, even different cygwin versions in which a program can be a symlink or not) that exiting from the three cases I outlined before, leads to such headaches that it would be seen as a perverted attitude to insist on it. I am sorry that, english not being my mother language, I am not really able to convey what I mean... -- Enrico
