My bibtex.exe in the \bibtex subdirectory is 164 KB dated 20-Nov-00
The one in \util was 47 KB but I have renamed it so it is out of the picture

Yes I downloaded all the files recently

Actually it is a little different.
They are \yandy\bibtex\bib,  \csf  and \bst

AHA!
Here is a piece of it where I see a problem

BIBINPUT=c:\yandy\bibtex\bib;c:\yandy\bibtex\contrib
BSTINPUT=c:\yandy\bibtex\bst;c:\yandy\bibtex\contrib
CSFINPUT=c:\yandy\bibtex\csf;c:\yandy\bibtex\contrib

My \yandy directory is in the d drive and not in the c drive.
I do not remember if I entered those manually at some point of if it was
done automatically at installation.
I fixed the entries in the ->preference->environment and now bibtex can
find the apsrev.bst
and 88591lat.csf in the appropriate directories.  I do not need to put
them with my source files.
However I still get the error:
3018: Sorry---you've exceeded BibTeX's wizard-defined function space 3000
