%% ****** Start of file README ****** % %% %% This file is part of the APS files in the REVTeX 4 distribution. %% Version 4.2c of REVTeX, January, 2019. %% %% Copyright (c) 1999-2019 American Physical Society. %% Last updated 18 January 2019 This file describes the contents of this distribution of REVTeX 4.2, version 4.2c. The definitive source of information about REVTeX 4 is the APS web page http://journals.aps.org/revtex/. User queries should be directed to revtex@aps.org. Manifest -------- All files in this release are contained within a second zip file within the main zip file called revtex4-2-tds.zip. This contains all of the REVTeX 4.2 files in the TeX Directory Structure (TDS) layout used with most current TeX distributions. Install REVTeX 4.2 by unzipping the files in the appropriate place (usually the texmf-local directory of your local TeX installation) and running texhash or the equivalent command to index the files. Please consult your TeX distribution's guide for installing new packages. NOTE: The only files necessary for running REVTeX 4.2 are those under tex/latex/revtex and bibtex/bst/revtex, but it is a good idea to install the entire distribution, especially the documentation.

Please obtain from CTAN (Comprehensive TeX Archive Network), e.g. . Direct links to the necessary files can be found at . natbib.dtx - Version 8.31a or later; found in latex/contrib/natbib on CTAN natbib.ins - LaTeX this to create natbib.sty and natbib documentation from natbib.dtx bm.dtx - Bold math style - part of (current!) standard LaTeX2e tools bm.sty - generated from bm.dtx by running tools.ins textcase.dtx - Found in latex/contrib/textcase on CTAN textcase.ins - LaTeX this to generate textcase.sty from textcase.dtx url.sty - Found in latex/contrib/misc on CTAN An up-to-date installation of AMS-LaTeX is also required for certain documentclass options. Version 2.0 or higher is needed. It is available from . Recommended styles and packages -------------------------- With REVTeX implemented as a native LaTeX2e document class, users can take advantage of many of the well-supported LaTeX2e packages available. Here are some that are particularly useful and recommended. longtable.sty for tables running to multiple pages - part of a standard LaTeX2e distribution. hyperref.sty for hyperlinking - should work well with REVTeX 4.2. graphics.sty and graphicx.sty for figure inclusion - part of LaTeX2e's standard distribution. Credits ------- David Carlisle created the first draft of REVTeX 4; Arthur Ogawa has supported the TeX development versions 4.0 and 4.1. Patrick Daly was so kind as to incorporate needed changes into natbib and custom-bib. All worked under commission from the APS, with the support of AIP, and was coordinated by Mark Doyle, APS. Version 4.2 was initially developed by Aptara Corporation under the guidance of Mark Doyle, APS, and Brian Goss, AIP. Development of the final version of 4.2 was done by Mark Doyle. The APS is the maintainer of REVTeX, and all bugs are our responsibility. Please e-mail feedback to revtex@aps.org. Backwards compatibility ----------------------- The REVTeX 4.2 class file has been named revtex4-2.cls to distinguish it from its predecessors. Files prepared under REVTeX 4.0 or 4.1 may need minor changes to process under 4.2 and the output may be formatted differently. LaTeX2e requirements -------------------- REVTeX 4 requires: LaTeX2e [1996/06/01], natbib [2009/11/07] textcase
