Please don't confuse our discrimination against hacks with our discrimination against windows [1]. If you read the mailing list during the time we have always resisted short term solutions because they hurt us in the past badly. One of our major concerns was always the portability of the code, that is why it was not so difficult to port it to windows after all. I am trying to put things in perspective, portability and running lyx in lots of platforms is good, gross hacks are not, no matter what the system. Because I can also point you code rejected that would only work in linux. > Bo [1] Now that I think of it is there a difference at all? ;-) -- José Abílio
