Package texlive-amstex

http://tug.org/texlive/

AMS-TeX is a TeX macro package, originally written by Michael Spivak for the
American Mathematical Society (AMS) during 1983-1985 and is described in the
book 'The Joy of TeX'. It is based on Plain TeX, and provides many features for
producing more professional-looking maths formulas with less burden on authors.
This is the final archival distribution of AMS-TeX. AMS-TeX is no longer
supported by the AMS, nor is it used by the AMS publishing program. The AMS
does not recommend creating any new documents using AMS-TeX; this distribution
will be left on CTAN to facilitate processing of legacy documents and as a
historical record of a pioneering TeX macro collection that played a key role
in popularizing TeX and revolutionizing mathematics publishing. In addition to
the "User's Guide to AMS-TeX", the AMS has also made the full text of the most
recent reprint of the second edition of "The Joy of TeX" by Michael Spivak
available as a pdf file. AMS-TeX is the historical basis of amslatex, which
should now be used to prepare submissions for the AMS.
