[comp.text.tex] AMSTEX package renamed to AMSLaTeX

bed_gdg@SHSU.BITNET ("George D. Greenwade") (02/27/91)

Barbara Beeton pointed out quite correctly that the AMSTeX package which
FILESERV supports is not AMSTeX; it is the American Math Society's AMS-LaTeX
Version 1.0 release of August, 1990.  As we ultimately plan on making the
AMSTeX package available (with TeX version, in addition to this LaTeX
version), all of the files in AMSTeX have been copied to a new AMSLaTeX
package.
 
Until March 11, both the AMSTeX and AMSLaTeX packages will house identical
files.  Until that date, the commands SENDME AMSTeX and SENDME AMSLaTeX sent
to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET will yield identical AMS-LaTeX files.  This is done
to avoid temporary confusion on the part of those who may have prior
listings of packages available at FILESERV.  If you have previously
requested and received the AMSTeX package, you will not need any further
files.  On or around March 11, I hope to have the "real" AMSTeX files in the
AMSTeX package.  A post will be made to INFO-TeX once that is accomplished.
 
Sorry for any confusion this may cause.
 
George
