The package is available in the distribution on +the AASTeX Web site at http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/AAS/AASTeX and +from CTAN (http://www.ctan.org/). + +natbib.dtx Version 7 or later needed +natbib.ins LaTeX this to create natbib.sty and natbib + documentation from natbib.dtx + +INSTALLING THE CLASS FILE + +The aastex.cls file must be installed so that LaTeX can find it. +To use AASTeX locally, simply place it in the same directory as +your LaTeX file. + +To install AASTeX for global use on your system, +copy the aastex.cls (and natbib.sty if +it is not already on your system) into the directory where your +LaTeX installation expects to find class files. + +Alternately, Unix/Linux users can use the make file included +with the distribution. Simply adjust the Makefile so that +the INSTALLDIR parameter is set to the directory where your +installation expects to find class files, e.g. + +INSTALLDIR = /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/misc + +If you have teTeX installed, +run "texconfig conf" to see what TEXMFMAIN is. + +Once the INSTALLDIR parameter is set correctly +in the Makefile, type "make install" at the prompt. +(You must have the necessary +write permission in the system area where LaTeX +files are installed.) + +If you are using teTeX, you will need to update the LaTeX +cache by typing "texconfig rehash." + +Please see the AASTeX Web site FAQ at + +http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/AAS/AASTeX + +for additional installation notes or contact the help desk at +aastex-help@aas.org for assistance. + + +PRINTING THE GUIDE AND SAMPLES + +The user guide is written in AASTeX preprint2 style. +To print it out on a PostScript printer, you will need a DVI driver +that will output to PostScript. If you wish to print to PostScript, +and you are on a Unix or Linux system, +the DVI driver on your computer system is probably called "dvips". +To print out the user guide DVI file, type + + prompt> dvips aasguide + +To create and print your own DVI file, type + + prompt> latex aasguide + prompt> latex aasguide + prompt> dvips aasguide + +There are various system- and program-specific eccentricities which +cannot be fully enumerated here. Some things to watch out for: + + 1. On some systems, LaTeX does not permit a filename extension + (the .tex) on the input file specification; .tex is assumed. + + 2. The user interfaces for DVI drivers are quite inconsistent. + Some operate in an interactive mode, asking the user about + variable setup parameters, while some only accept control + input on the command line. + + 3. On some systems, DVI translation and printing are combined, + so one would enter only one OS command after running LaTeX. + This is typically the case for dvips. + +Since LaTeX installations vary widely, you may need to consult +the documentation for your particular installation or your local +system administator for guidance in installing and using +AASTeX. + +ADMINISTRATIVE DETAILS + +AASTeX was designed and written by Chris Biemesderfer in 1988. +Substantial revisions were made by Lee Brotzman and Pierre +Landau when the package was updated to v4.0. +AASTeX was rewritten as a LaTeX class by Arthur Ogawa +for the v5.0 release. It was updated to v5.2 by +SR Nova Private Ltd. +The documentation has benefited from revisions by +Jeannette Barnes, Sara Zimmerman, and Greg Schwartz. + +Comments, suggestions, complaints, and pleas for help can be sent +electronically to aastex-help@aas.org. + +AASTeX Web site: http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/AAS/AASTeX. + +CB, 20 May 1999 +Rev.
