I am using RevTeX4-1.

When I typeset the original file, compile the bibliography, and then try to typeset the original file again, I get an error:

"! Undefined control sequence. < argument> @bibitemShut."

Below is a minimal file with which I get the error, followed by the test .bib file that I used, and then followed by the .bbl file it outputs. Can anyone help?

(I am using PcTeX, which I purchased many years ago and no longer seems to have much support available, but which I am very used to. Perhaps this is my problem but I am hoping not, because I'd prefer not to have to get used to a whole new interface.)

I will also mention that when compiling the bibliography, I do get a warning but am guessing this is not the problem. The warning is this:

Warning--jnrlst (dependency: not reversed) set 1



merlin.mbs apsrev4-1.bst 2010-07-25 4.21a (PWD, AO, DPC) hacked



Control: key (0) 



Control: author (8) initials jnrlst



Control: editor formatted (1) identically to author



Control: production of article title (-1) disabled



Control: page (0) single



Control: year (1) truncated



Control: production of eprint (0) enabled



(There was 1 warning)

Here is my minimal tex file:

documentclass[pra]{revtex4-1}



begin{document}



maketitle



Here's one citation cite{Ref1}, and now another one cite{Ref2}. 



bibliography{Testrefs}



end{document}

And here is my bib file:

@ARTICLE{Ref1,

    AUTHOR={Someone1a and Someone1b},

    TITLE={Title1},

    JOURNAL={Journal1},

    VOLUME={44},

    PAGES={5555},

    YEAR={1999}

}



@ARTICLE{Ref2,

    AUTHOR={Someone2a and Someone2b},

    TITLE={Title2},

    JOURNAL={Journal2},

    VOLUME={55},

    PAGES={7777},

    YEAR={2000}

}

In case it is useful, here is the bbl file created when I compile the bibliography:

Well, I do not know PcTeX and therefore I do not know which versions of packages are included there.

But after a look to there web page (copyright 2009, last update 2013; telling nothing about used package versions) I simply suggest to not use this very outdated and as it seems unsupported oftware. Depending on your used computer I suggest to install MiKTeX or TeXLive ...

With an current MiKTeX on Windows 8 I can compile your MWE without problems, only some warnings that revtex4-1 misses some parameter ...
