-<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label AMSpkg</title>
-</head><body>
-<h3>What are the AMS packages (AMSTeX, <em>etc</em>.)?</h3>
-
-<p/>AMSTeX is a TeX macro package, originally written by Michael Spivak for
-the American Mathematical Society (AMS) during 1983&ndash;1985 and
-is described in the book &ldquo;<a href="FAQ-books.html">The Joy of TeX</a>&rdquo;.
-It is based on Plain TeX, and provides many
-features for producing more professional-looking maths formulas with
-less burden on authors. It pays attention to the finer details of
-sizing and positioning that mathematical publishers care about. The
-aspects covered include multi-line displayed equations, equation
-numbering, ellipsis dots, matrices, double accents, multi-line
-subscripts, syntax checking (faster processing on initial
-error-checking TeX runs), and other things.
-<p/>As LaTeX increased in popularity, authors asked to submit papers to
-the AMS in LaTeX, and so the AMS developed
-AMSLaTeX, which is a
-collection of LaTeX packages and classes that offer authors most of
-the functionality of AMSTeX.
-The AMS no longer recommends the use of AMSTeX, and urges
-its users to use AMSLaTeX instead.
