[comp.text.tex] Problem running BibTeX

napi@rangkom.MY (Mohd Hanafiah b. Abdullah) (10/09/90)

Hi netters

I am having problem with BibTeX.  After running:-
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
%latex btxdoc
This is TeX, C Version 3.0
	.
	.

%bibtex btxdoc
This is BibTeX, C Version 0.99c
The top-level auxiliary file: btxdoc.aux
The style file: plain.bst
Database file #1: btxdoc.bib
"Leslie Lamport" is a string literal, not a function, for entry latex-manual
while executing---line 729 of file plain.bst
1 is an integer literal, not a function, for entry latex-manual
while executing---line 729 of file plain.bst
	.
	.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The resulting "btxdoc.bbl" file is incomplete as a result of the "errors".
Could the problem lie with the contents of "plain.bst"?  line 729 of
file "plain.bst" is the command: ITERATE {presort}.  All the errors have
something to do with the ITERATE commands.
Any help is much appreciated.  Thanks.
