A few weeks ago, an interesting program was announced in
comp.os.linux.announce: Lyrix 1.05, something like a LaTeX-based
wordprocessor. Seems to be what I'm looking for for a long time.
But I don't find it !!!
The poster claimed he had uploaded it in sunsite's incoming, but there was
only the .lsm-file, no program ! and also the probable destination dirs
(apps/editors, or X11/xapps/editors) were empty.
has anyone found this program in the meantime ? The author didn't respond on
my mail...
P.S: Please cc: your response to my mailadress. I don't want to miss it,
because it would be expired... thanx.

Lyrix disappeared because of a naming conflict. It is now called 'lyx',
and the current development version is available in source form,
(which requires xforms now, no more motif), from the author's home page
http://www-pu.informatik.uni-tuebingen.de/users/ettrich
The file is called 'develp2.tgz'

look at
ftp://ftp.uni-paderborn.de/Mirrors/sunsite.unc.edu/apps/editors/
The name changed from Lyrix1.05 to noname105p2-src-bin.tar.gz.

It is currently called ``NoName'', and there was a lot of net traffic abou the
name. I uploaded a ``noname'' binary, source, and lsm entry a few days ago,
but didn't make a fuss about it since the author (Matthais Ettrich) is making
another big change, from the Motif toolkit to Xforms.
NoName (as it was called, even with cute alterations to the opening graphic) is
in ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/editors/noname105p2-src-bin.tar.gz
It has static Motif lib's and seems quite stable. The Xforms version is still
in `development', but seems to be in about the same state now, and will
probably be released as beta very soon. Matthias (the author) switched to
Xforms to get a free widget library to use with this project. I suggested to
him that he try to provide a choice to use either toolkit, but that may be too
much of a hassle, since the toolkit shapes the method of implimenting features.
You can get source for NoName from sunsite, and more information from my
LyriX-information web page http://www.lehigh.edu/~dlj0/LyriX.html. The author
maintains a German site, with sources only, at
http://www-pu.informatik.uni-tuebingen.de/users/ettrich (this is sometimes hard
to reach, at least from the US).
By the way, for those who do not know,
the-word-processor-formerly-known-as-LyriX is a word-processing front-end to
LaTeX, and provides much of the functionality of LaTeX in a WYSIWYG format. It
also will run LaTeX for you, preview (with formulas and graphics), and print.
Spell-checking and other enhancements are still to come.
