+00readme.txt for AMS document classes amsart/book/proc 2.0 [2004/08/06]
+
+See manifest.txt for a list of all the files in the distribution.
+
+See install.txt for installation instructions.
+
+The document classes amsart, amsbook, amsproc and related packages are
+provided by the American Mathematical Society for authors to use with
+LaTeX. They produce the overall layout and appearance of AMS
+publications.
+
+In order to use an AMS document class you need to have TeX software
+installed first. TeX is not an AMS product. If you need information on
+getting TeX see one of the following:
+
+ http://www.tug.org/
+ http://www.ams.org/tex/tex-resources.html
+
+Documentation for the AMS document classes is found in
+
+ instr-l.pdf
+ diffs-c.txt
+ amsthdoc.pdf
+ thmtest.tex
+ thmtest.pdf
+
+which are included in the collection. Additional documentation can be
+found in the amsclass FAQ:
+
+ http://www.ams.org/tex/amsclass-faq.html
+
+The recommended procedure for making a custom document class based on an
+AMS class is to make a copy of the relevant .cls file using a different
+name and edit the copy---e.g., copy amsbook.cls to mybook.cls. (In
+general we advise against using \LoadClass, unless the base class is
+frozen or changes to the base class are under your control.)
