Subject: relyx in windows?
Hi folks,
what is the trick to make relyx work in windows? I've found that I need to
put the .tex file in the bin directory where relyx.bat is so that it can
find it, but after that, the system complains that the conversion has
failed.
Thanks,
Brian Williams
PS
I tried tex2lyx, but got lots of complaints about running an earlier
version of lyx, and loads of error boxes.
I don't think relyx works. Actually tex2lyx works pretty good for
most Windows XP users. LyX 1.3.6_1 comes with "Extended
Features" as a document which I can open. But I saw an update
notification of "extended features" so I downloaded it and it would
not open. I am not sure but maybe the update was created with
LyX 1.4 and 1.3.6_1 doesn't read it. There is a slight problem
reported by some people with directories which contain spaces.
So I have tex2lyx.exe and tex2lyx.bat harbored in C:\lyx\lyx\bin
and it works good, and there are few complaints about it so it is
likely you have overlooked some detail. Did you follow this tip?

This can be done another way, but this well-tested method works.
