First question is: What LaTeX class is this, and is there an equivalent LyX 
layout file? See

Issues with Tex2Lyx

[Gavrielle Untracht]

Hello,

I am a student hoping to use LyX to format my thesis. My university
provides a template .tex file which I am not required to use, but would
save me some time. When I try to import the file into LyX, I recieve the
error "An error occured while running: tex2lyx..."  Based upon my internet
research, it seems like a likely cause is some incompatibility in the TeX
code which is not easily translatable into Lyx. I was wondering if you
could help me identify some likely culprits so that I could edit the TeX
file to something that LyX could import. Is this straight forward to do, or
do you think it would be more time efficient to recreate the template in
LyX? If I create a LyX template, can I donate it to the grad school for
other students to use? Is it possible that I'm having an issue because my
template uses BibTex?

Thanks in advance,

Gavrielle
