OLD: An older, simpler version of BibTeX is in the `util' sub-folder of
the `yandy' folder, typically c:\yandy\util\bibtex.exe

If you use this version, then you may find it easiest to assemble all
needed files in one directory.  Then run BibTeX from the command
prompt after making that directory the current directory.  That way
you know all the files are there and that BibTeX is not grabbing old
versions of any of the files by mistake.  You can get to the command
prompt from "Start > Programs > Command Prompt".

For serious work, you may prefer to use a more elaborate version.  On the
CD look in /CTAN/systems/win32/bibtex.exe for a larger version.  Copy this
to your util folder.  Also copy kpathsea.dll in that case (see kpathsea.pdf
for documentation if needed).

You can control where this BibTeX looks for *.BIB and *.BST files using
two environment variables  BIBINPUTS, BSTINPUTS.  Note that these are real
DOS environment variables, not entries in the [Environment] section of
dviwindo.ini.

In Windows 95/98 add to your autoexec.bat file (in your root directory)
lines of the form:

	SET BIBINPUTS=c:\yandy\texinput\bibinput
	SET BSTINPUTS=c:\yandy\texinput\bstinput

Please substitute the correct full path to where your files actually are.
then reboot.

In Windows NT, set environment variables from "Start > Settings > Control
Panel > System" Click the "Advanced" tab, click on "Environment Variables".
Click on "Add" under "Variables" (not "System Variables").  You don't need
to reboot in this case.

Note that this BibTeX - unlike Y&Y TeX itself - does not like long file
names --- which is why the actual directories names given as exaples above
are not longer than 8 characters.  The environment variables themselves,
however, ve no such restriction and should be written as shown with the full
9 letters.

Note that this BibTeX - unlike Y&Y TeX - assumes that your files use
standard line terminations.  This can lead to complaints about
`exceeding BibTeX's input buffer' if you transfer files from Mac or
Unix without translating the line terminations.

You can also get this error message if you have unusually long biblio
entries.  BibTeX was not designed to accept whole abstracts as entries.
