Hi all, rumors are that LyX 1.4 is not going to support XY-Pic anymore. I cannot believe that the developers are serious about this. If they were, the reasons for me to use LyX would be gone. To name these reasons specifically, they are: Instant-preview XY-Pic and, last but not least Uwe's installer, which makes it so easy to get LyX up and running under Windows.
Ironically, the two bugs that are reported in bugzilla regarding XY-Pic can be circumvented. I have just found two easy solutions and documented them in a new chapter "Hacks" of my manual "Using XY-Pic in LyX" at http://www.mathematik.uni-marburg.de/~gumm/LyX/xypic/xypic.pdf (The html-translation - supplied by Stephen Harris - has not yet been updated.) Let the developers know, that there is no demand for a new version if is less than the existing one. H.Peter +---------------------------------------+ | Prof. Dr. H.
