Thank you for your patience.

With your sample files in hand (many thanks for sending a _small_
file!), I have exactly the same thing: no problem when processing on
my unixbox, but it just won't work with Y&YTeX.

Yes. I have the same result: the .aux file is present, but when I run
BibTeX, I'm given a nasty error message right off the top: that
\documentclass is an undefined control sequence. But I see that this
is different from yours ...

We're looking into it. I do tend to agree with you that this has the
appearance of being a path-related problem. However, I'm not yet sure
where the path is going wrong. I'm afraid that your .ini file was
deleted from your message -- our mailer here is very strict about
viruses and it turns out that the .ini file is a popular way of
distributing bad things.

In my own dviwindo.ini file, I find only one reference to BibTeX and
that is in the [Applications] portion of the file, which relates
mainly to setting up the menu items in the `TeX' pull-down menu.

What is the spurious char.? Below I see only `a_open_in' -- which is a
sequence of chars. not a `spurious one'. Do you have a file or
something where this sequence appears? Did the spurious char. you
mention perhaps not even come through via e-mail?

No. I do not get the above message. However, the above isn't directly
related to the file files you sent me.

I will continue to work on this and get back in touch as soon as
possible.

In the interim, are you able to continue doing your work on the
unixbox?
