The first public LyX version was when? Can't have been much longer than 10 years ago. I just checked, and found a copy of an old webpage I used to maintain for it. (I also used to provide binaries that had Motif statically linked for those who did not have Motif -- LyX/LyriX was linux/unix only at one time, and used Motif widgets). It was originally called LyriX, but Matthais got a letter from a lawyer about that, so he changed the name. The date I have on that old webpage is February, 1999. But, looking at that file, by that time things were pretty far along. Several developers were working on it, and it was far more advanced than the first versions. So, the original versions must have been in the mid-'90s, believe it or not. And I have been using it for all of my writing since the first versions. -- David L.
