+About 5 years ago I developed  some TeX files for  economics working papers and journals.  My model at the time was AMSTeX. I use a variant of these files for my own working papers, but I've supplemented my files with various additional macros.  
+
+These files really aren't fit for public distribution but I've had so many requests for them that I will release them anyway.  One of these days I might find time to get back to this package and do it right.
+
+If I were starting over I would probably use LaTeX and bibtex, but perhaps it would make sense to wait for LaTeX 3.0.
+
+Have fun with the files.  Note that they are completely unsupported; don't ask me any questions about them.  However, if you make significant enhancements or bug fixes I would like to see them.

+-----------original readme file
+
+Here is release 1.0 of VerTeX.  Please note that there are two sets of
+"standard" TeX fonts, the "Computer Modern" (CM) versions and the "Almost
+Modern" (AM) versions.  Users are encouraged to switch to the final
+release of the CM fonts, rather than stick with the outmoded AM
+fonts.
+
+In VerTeX I have  \font loading statements for both the CM and the AM 
+fonts.  You should comment out the font definitions that you are not using. 
+The \font statements are at the start of vertex.tex, ppt.sty, etc.
+
+Good luck.
