Did you touch the file (transfer it or of that sort) after you save the file? Please try to rename the compressed file to .gz and use 'gzip -d' under *nix or winzip under windows to decompress it. If you can get a proper plain-text file, rename back to .lyx and try to open it with lyx. If lyx generates illegal gz file, we are in serious trouble here. Bo
