Problems with BibTeX

Tue Jun 3 17:37:47 CEST 2003

Success!

I replaced the bibtex file in my bibtex directory which is164 KB and
dated 20-Nov-00
with one which is 172 KB and dated 26-Sep-01.
The bibliography now processes correctly when I launch it from DVIWindo.

Any suggestion on how to launch bibtex from WinEdt?

Thanks for the help
