Sorry for serial posting, I forgot to mention that without
--no-section-numbering the DVI output toc seems to work right even
with the * version, so the latex although strange is ok, but no
section numbering.  I'm sure you know how to turn that on.

Stop press: if I run the pdf conversion after I run the DVI conversion
the PDF gives a TOC even with the * commands version.  Must be reading
a file left around by the DVI conversion or the non- * version.

Looks like latex tools problems to me :-(

And thats why I don't do latex directly he says getting in a last gentle dig :-)

Cheers
