+Preliminary note: The normal destination directory for amsrefs.sty in a
+standard TDS structure is texmf/tex/latex/amsrefs (see step 3 below).
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+If you have a relatively up-do-date TeX system that complies with the
+TeX Directory Structure (TDS) standard, installing according to the
+instructions in section I below is the easiest method. See
+
+ http://www.tug.org/tds/tds.pdf
+
+for details on the TDS standard. If your TeX system does not comply
+with the TDS standard, please contact the manufacturer of your TeX
+system for details on how to install third-party TeX packages.
+
+The first step is to identify the TEXMF folder that contains files used
+by LaTeX. To do this, look for the file article.cls. If you find, e.g.,
+
+ /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/base/article.cls
+
+then we will define TEXMF to mean /usr/local/share/texmf (everything
+before the tex/latex/base part). On a Windows system the file location
+will probably be something like
+
+ c:\sw\texmf\tex\latex\base\article.cls
+
+Then we define TEXMF to mean c:\sw\texmf. In the following instructions,
+wherever you see "TEXMF" substitute the folder name determined in this
+way.
+
+If this terminology does not make sense to you, seek assistance from a
+friend or colleague, or from the company that you bought your TeX
+system from, or contact us at one of the above addresses.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+1. Download the following archive file:
+
+ ftp://ftp.ams.org/pub/tex/amsrefs/amsrefs.zip
+
+2. View the following files to assess the effects of the upgrade on
+your system:
+
+ README
+ install.txt (this file)
+ diffs-m.txt
+
+3. Backup the old version of AMS-LaTeX, preferably by moving it out of the
+TEXMF tree.
+
+4. Extract files from the .zip archive using your favorite unzip tool,
+setting the extraction target directory to the texmf root directory.
+
+5. To check the end result, you should find that amsrefs.sty is now in
+the following location (substituting \ or : for / if appropriate):
+
+ TEXMF/tex/latex/amsrefs/amsrefs.sty
+
+Some TeX systems such as TeX Live and MikTeX also use a database to
+keep track of TeX input files. If this database is not updated, your
+TeX system might not find the newly installed files. Consult your TeX
+system's documentation to determine how to update this database.
