+
+ADDITIONAL FILES REQUIRED BY THIS PACKAGE
+
+AASTeX requires the natbib package, which is not
+included in this distribution. 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.
