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.
