Re: Which drawing program?
I have used Dia with great success. One feature is that it is cross platform, so people who don't use Linux (many corporations and some of my clients) can also use it to view/create diagrams in Windoze. It comes with several pre-defined libraries for UML, flowcharts etc which makes it easy to produce standard business or technical diagrams. It creates postscript (amongst other formats) which can be digested by LyX. It also supports many fonts so the text looks quite reasonable. Pete

Re: Help about Lyx and Latex
Raul, Firstly, sorry for confusing you with llncs.sty!. I really meant llncs.cls. Anyway, here is what I did to get the llncs style working. I assume that you are working on linux. 1. As root, install the attached llncs.cls file (also available at the springer web site) into /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base 2. Run texhash 3. As your normal (not root) user, start LyX and run Edit-reconfigure. If you look in the console output, you should see llncs being recognised 4. Close Lyx and restart Lyx. 5. Open your document and set the document style to 'Springer lecture notes in comp sci.' 6. When you view as postscript, the output should look just like a Springer llncs paper. 7 To export, choose Latex. You will get a filename.tex file in the directory where the filename.lyx file resides. To check that this is OK, run LaTeX on filename.tex (you may need to run lLaTeX more than once) and then use xdvi to check that your output is as expected. The filename.tex file is the one you want to send to the editor, together with the fiels used for the figures.
