BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ How to use Bibtex8?

[Naima123]

Hey,

I have a Problem with my Bibliography and I already found out, that I have to use Bibtex8, but I have no idea how to use it. I read the README at CTAN, but I don't understand what to download and where to save I use Windows XP

Hope anybody can help me..

Thanks,
Naima

Instead of "bibtex <filename>", use "bibtex8 <filename>". This can be changed in most editors: which do you use?

I use Winedt with Miktex.

Where exactly do I have to change that?
I wrote in my .tex document
\usepackage[style=authoryear,sorting=nyt,hyperref,backend=bibtex8]{biblatex}
But only writing it in there didn't change anything, because it still doesn't use bibtex8 so I guess I have to change it somewhere else?!?!

And mustn't I download something?!

Thank you already, would be glad for more help...
