[comp.text.tex] AMSTeX Footlines/Page Numbers

ronp@cs.umr.edu (Ron Pacheco) (06/15/90)

I am using AMSTeX and want to change the page numbers at the bottom of
the page.  Specifically, I desire the following format:

SECTION III   Unit 8                                              Page 7

I am using the preprint style for the material.  I have tried using
\footline as I am accustomed to in plain TeX, but the page numbering
refuses to change from a single arabic number centered at the bottom of
the page.  I am relatively new to AMSTeX and the manual has not shed any
light on the problem.  I have been told that the problem arises from
AMSTeX taking over \footline and thus rendering it obsolete, but no one
knows how to achieve the results I desire.  I would appreciate any input
on the problem and/or solution.  Thanks in advance.
