A new compiler and the new Xforms 1.0 library ... a lot of work the past week ;-) But now it's done: the new release 1.3.0 using the new Xforms-1.0-based frontend now is available for Windows, too. Download as usual from http://www.fh-hannover.de/mbau/tim/hentschel/lyx/index.htm Hopefully I can release Lyx using a Qt3-based frontend (like that known from KDE on Linux) the next days. At the moment there seems to be only one problem: converting eps images for viewing inside the Lyx window doesn't work. Have fun! Claus

bibtex seems not runing in win2k
Hi, I am running Lyx (1.2.1) with Miktex and cygwin in Windows 2000. The View DVI shows my citation as [?]. The symptoms are (1) latex log file says undefined reference (2) In the lyx file, when I insert a citation, the bib entries in my bib file shows up fine. This means lyx can find my bib files. (3) lyx can find my IEEEtran.cls automatically. I guess it get some information from Miktex. In the bibtex box, it also find the IEEEbst.bst file. (4) My windows environment does not have environment variables such as BIBINPUTS and others. But the problem persists even if I added the environment variables in WIN2K. (5) View-Tex Information shows all the file lists as empty lists, although Help-Latex Configuration shows that Lyx has found almost all of the files. (6) My Miktex is running OK before and after I installed Lyx. Any clue about what is happening? It seems bibtex is not invoked at all. Thanks a lot, Eugene

If I remember correctly, Netscape (i.e. Mozilla) creates a lock-file in the user's ~/.netscape/ directory like this: lrwxr-xr-x 17 Feb 13 18:45 lock - 130.237.57.34:592 which is neat when you're using a networked file system. Then you can click on URL's shown on one machine and have netscape running on another machine show the new page.

html conversion
I use latex2html and can handle things find in command line style. On the other hand, I have tried converting in Lyx. Well, an html is created, all formulas appear in LaTex form. Not good. Further, I add the option -local_icons to carry over button images that latex2html uses; these are not carried over. (the latter was done through Edit-Preferences and the result appears in the /.lyx preferences file. Any thoughts?? best regards, b PS I am using the qt frontend. -- *** William O.

bibtex seems not runing in win2k
Hi, I am running Lyx (1.2.1) with Miktex and cygwin in Windows 2000. The View DVI shows my citation as [?]. The symptoms are (1) latex log file says undefined reference (2) In the lyx file, when I insert a citation, the bib entries in my bib file shows up fine. This means lyx can find my bib files. (3) lyx can find my IEEEtran.cls automatically. I guess it get some information from Miktex. In the bibtex box, it also find the IEEEbst.bst file. (4) My windows environment does not have environment variables such as BIBINPUTS and others. But the problem persists even if I added the environment variables in WIN2K. (5) View-Tex Information shows all the file lists as empty lists, although Help-Latex Configuration shows that Lyx has found almost all of the files. (6) My Miktex is running OK before and after I installed Lyx. Any clue about what is happening? It seems bibtex is not invoked at all. Thanks a lot, Eugene
