+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.
