+.SH NAME
+amstex \- structured text formatting and typesetting
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B amstex
+.RI [ first-line ]
+.\"=====================================================================
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This manual page is not meant to be exhaustive. The complete
+documentation for this version of \*(TX can be found in the info file
+or manual
+.IR "Web2C: A TeX implementation" .
+.PP
+The \*(AX language is described in the book
+.IR "The Joy of \*(OX" .
+\*(AX is a \*(TX macro package, not a modification to the \*(TX source
+program, so all the capabilities described in
+.BR tex (1)
+are present.
+.PP
+The \*(AX macros encourage writers to think about the content of their
+documents, rather than the form. The ideal, not always realized, is to
+have no formatting commands (like \(lqswitch to italic\(rq or \(lqskip 2
+picas\(rq) in the document at all; instead, everything is done
+by specific markup instructions: \(lqemphasize\(rq, \(lqstart a section\(rq.
+.PP
+For authors more familiar with \*(LX, an AMS-supported package called
+.I amsmath.sty
+is available, among others.
