I have been trying for hours to use the rotate environment but with no luck. I would like to position one of my tables (which is a bit too wide) vertically. I have used the sidewaystable command but no luck. Does anyone have any suggestions?

This is an example of what I have:
\documentclass[titlepage, 12pt]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{rotating}
\usepackage{epsfig}
\setlength {\oddsidemargin}{0.1in}
\setlength {\evensidemargin}{0.1in}
\setlength {\topmargin}{0.0in}
\setlength{\textwidth}{6.1in}
\setlength {\textheight}{8.4in}
\setlength {\headheight}{0.0in}
\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1.5}
.
.
.
.
.
\begin{sidewaytable}[p]
\caption{wealth distribution across waves}
\label{tab1}
{\small
\begin{tabular}{p{2.25in}rrrrrr}
\hline\hline \
\textbf{Info} & & & \textbf{Waves} & & &\
& {1991} & {1993} & {1995} & {1997}& {2000}& {Total}\
\hline
S& 21.80 & 14.93 & 15.06 & 10.23 & 11.09 & 14.12\
D & 41.92 & 54.94 & 56.67 & 51.88 & 53.63 & 51.85\
N& 17.60 & 18.16 & 17.49 & 25.82 & 22.71 & 20.84\
A & 18.68 & 11.98 & 10.78 & 12.07 & 12.57 & 13.18\
\
Total & 100.00 & 100.00 & 100.00 & 100.00 & 100.00 & 100.00\
\hline\hline
\end{tabular}
}
{\scriptsize{Columns may not sum due to rounding.}
}
\
\end{sidewaytable}

In case someone faced the same issue, sidewaystable seems to work only when you are producing PDF file. I use MikTex, and it didn't work when I compiled for DVI.
