[R Martinez]

Herb,

The files just showed up unannounced in my directory. I did no copying or manipulated the files in any way. 

Thanks,

Raúl

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.
