+Date: 9 August 91 Message No: 031
+
+To: TeX implementors and distributors
+
+From: Barbara Beeton
+
+Subject: Quick update on e-math.ams.com
+
+
+Within the past few weeks, the e-math archive at AMS has been completely
+refreshed. Highlights of the update include:
+
+ - AMS-TeX version 2.1 -- bug fixes and some minor enhancements
+
+ The file ams/amstex/amstex.bug gives the detail of changes.
+
+ - AMS-LaTeX version 1.1 -- bug fixes
+
+ Current versions of the Mittelbach/Schoepf new font selection scheme
+ files are now posted, as well as the reference versions of latex.tex
+ and lplain.tex .
+
+ The BibTeX style amslpha.bst is now a true "alpha" style, and
+ produces bibliographic input according to AMS style requirements.
+
+ The file ams/amslatex/amslatex.bug gives the detail of changes.
+
+ - AMSFonts version 2.1 -- substantial bug fixes, including elimination
+ of the problems that caused the ms* fonts to get different checksums
+ and .tfm dimensions at different resolutions.
+
+ .mf sources for the AMSfonts are now packaged as a compressed tar
+ file, in ams/amsfonts-sources.tar.Z , in addition to the ordinary
+ ascii .mf files.
+
+ .pk files are now available in resolutions of 180, 240 and 400dpi
+ in addition to the 118 and 300dpi available previously.
+
+ - Author guidelines for submitting electronic manuscripts to the AMS
+ using AMS-LaTeX are new.
+
+A consistent change to all macro and text files originating at AMS
+is the installation of new identification blocks, based on the BibTeX
+format recommended by Nelson Beebe.
+
+I have received a note from Don Knuth concerning a bug (in Plain)
+reported in June:
+ "... the correction will go in
+ officially in fall when I make the next update."
+
+I will be out of town from August 15-September 3, and from September 20-
+October 16. (Among other commitments, I will be attending the TeX91 and
+Gutenberg meetings in Paris.) I will not be accessible by e-mail during
+that time, so any messages received then will wait until my return.
