In this directory (/ams) you will find subdirectories for each of the major
subdivisions of the Society's TeX archive.  Specifically, you will find
subdirectories for AMS-TeX 2.0 (/ams/amstex), AMSFonts 2.0 (/ams/amsfonts)
AMS-LaTeX 1.0 (/ams/amslatex), the AMSFonts TFM files (/ams/tfm-files), and
information for AMS authors (/ams/author-info).  The /author-info area contains
two subareas: /guidelines and /sty-files.  The /guidelines area contains the
TeX source files for the AMS-TeX and AMS-LaTeX ``Guidelines for Preparing
Electronic Manuscripts''.  The /sty-files area contains style files (AMS-TeX
and AMS-LaTeX) for AMS publications.
 
Additionally, in the /ams area you will also find compressed tar files
for each of these subdirectories of /ams, with the exception of
/ams/amsfonts which is where the AMSFonts 2.0 distribution is located.
If your host machine utilizes the Unix operating system, you can use
these files for easy retrieval of an entire TeX product.
 
For example, if you would like to obtain AMS-LaTeX 1.0, you can just
transfer the file /ams/amslatex.tar.Z to your machine.  You would then
have to decompress and use the tar utility to restore the AMS-LaTeX
files to your local machine.
 
If you experience any problems with the files found in the AMS archive,
or have trouble with the archive in any way, you can reach the AMS's
