Paul,

Not the .bib file but the .lyx file with the error.

Since only 1997.

grep -P '[^\x00-\x7f]' <file> did the job.

Turns out the '>' were in a URL environment. Changed them to '/' and that
resolved the issue.

Now I still have biber complaining about the O'Conner article in the .bib
file, That's a warning and doesn't prevent the file from compiling ...
maybe ... but there's still no bibiolgraphy in the complied PDF. That needs
fixing.

Thanks,

Rich
