The files names are exactly as they appear on the list of aux files. [I mention this to avoid people thinking that I added the parenthetical identifier "(from ...)" for the purpose of this discussion.] Although I show only two "extra" files here, I've had as many as six. They appear to be inoffensive: deleting them has no effect on typesetting or editing with TS 3.18.

Howdy,

Do all of these files appear at once? Have the files been copied from another location (I've seen an option to keep both files when I copy a file to a location where a file with that name already exists)?

Good Luck,
