To save others grief, I would like to post the following tip:

Background:
I am using Endnote Plus on a Powerbook 100. One day it refused to load my
references list. In the course of identifying the problem, I used Norton
Utilities and it told me a I had disk problems (flink error, whatever that
means). Some of them were repairable, but not all, so eventually I backed
up and reformatted the disk and restored everything. I still couldn't load
my references!

What I tried:
New copy of Endnote Plus, new copy of the references list, change to old
Endnote program, new styles folder, checked launch of reference on a
different computer, launch of endnote across the network on a different
computer with the reference on the network drive, in other
words...everything. I started up with the shift key down so there were no
control panels for extensions loading. Always I got "Application "unknown"
has quit with a type 2 error" or "Unexpected end of file."

What the problem was:
It took me a long time to figure it out, but the "Endnote Plus Preferences"
file was corrupted. Once I deleted that, both Endnote and Endnote Plus
returned to their normal stable operation. Whew!
