[TeX3.1415/AMS/NOTE
 for users of the Unix TeX distribution.

 June 1994]

The compressed tar files in this directory are 
distribution source files from the American Mathematical 
Society.  (Merely documentary NOTE files in the bundled 
sources derive from us.)

The following command line

	zcat <filename>.tar.gz | tar xf -

will extract ./<filename> into your current working directory.
The "zcat" program used here is part of the gzip utilities in
../../archive-tools.


amsfonts.tar.gz (./amsfonts):
   The amsfonts texinputs and mf source files
   have already been placed in the texmf installation tree
   in ${TEXMFROOT}/tex/ams and in subdirectories of
   ${TEXMFROOT}/fonts/ams.  If you have followed the
   default web2c installation, they are ready to be used as 
   input files to your TeX and Metafont.  The material in
   ./amsfonts/doc has not been placed in the installation
   tree; the directory contains the source files for the 
   AMS-TeX's user's manual for amsfonts.

amslatex.tar.gz (./amslatex):
   The AMS-LaTeX input and doc files.

amstex.tar.gz (./amstex):
   The AMS-TeX input files (amsppt.sty, amsppt1.tex, amssym.tex, 
   amstex.ini, amstex.tex) have already been placed in the texmf 
   installation tree in ${TEXMFROOT}/tex/ams.  The tex source files 
   in ./amstex/doc have not been placed in the installation tree;
   tex the source to generate the AMS-TeX user's guide.

author-info.tar.gz (./author-info):
   The AMS's source files for its "Guidelines for Preparing
   Electronic Manuscripts" and "A Manual for Authors of 
   Mathematical Papers", plus style files for authors 
   submitting papers to the AMS.

tfm files:
   The tfm-files for amsfonts have all been placed in the 
   texmf installation tree, in subdirectories of
   ${TEXMFROOT}/fonts/ams.  The exception is dummy.tfm
   which resides in ${TEXMFROOT}/fonts/public/misc/tfm.

pk files:
   A set of 300dpi write-black fonts generated via the 
   CanonCX mode_def has been placed in the texmf installation tree 
   in ${TEXMFROOT}/fonts/ams/<cyrillic,euler,extracm,symbols>/pk/cx.

========================================================

For sites updating a pre-July-1990 AMS-TeX:

If it is important that your printout be visually
identical to material printed out under the older
AMS-TeX (before July 1990), we recommend that you 
keep both the old and the current AMS fonts on 
your system.

If you can imagine the possibility at some time,
of having to regenerate a document that must be
visually the same as one printed under the old AMS-TeX,
we recommend that you archive the older fonts on your 
system so that they will be available to you when such 
a need arises.

The older fonts and the current fonts are not identical.
