Subject:  [VOICENWS] SW: LyX 1.4.4 now available for OS/2 & eComStation

Hi All,

I've just uploaded an OS/2 & eComStation port of LyX 1.4.4 to 
http://os2ports.smedley.info

LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing based on 
the structure of your documents, not their appearance. It is released under 
a Free Software / Open Source license.

LyX is for people that write and want their writing to look great, right 
out of the box. No more endless tinkering with formatting details, 'finger 
painting' font attributes or futzing around with page boundaries. You just 
write. In the background, Prof. Knuth's legendary TeX typesetting engine 
makes you look good.

On screen, LyX looks like any word processor; its printed output -- or 
richly cross-referenced PDF, just as readily produced -- looks like nothing 
else. Gone are the days of industrially bland .docs, all looking similarly 
not-quite-right, yet coming out unpredictably different on different 
printer drivers. Gone are the crashes 'eating' your dissertation the 
evening before going to press.

LyX is stable and fully featured. It is a multi-platform, fully 
internationalized application running natively on Unix/Linux and the 
Macintosh and modern Windows platforms.

Unfortunately, the LyX 1.5.x tree uses Qt v4, for which an OS/2 / 
eComStation port is not available - so it seems 1.4.x will be the end of 
the line for us :(

Cheers,

Paul.
