AMS-LaTeX 1.1 patch for LaTeX2e (fwd)

[Petr Sojka]

: Version 1.1 of AMS-LaTeX has a few points of incompatibility that prevent
: it from running unchanged with LaTeX2e. The AMS has produced some
: temporary patch versions of the primary files in the AMS-LaTeX
: distribution for ambitious users who would like to test them with the
: current preliminary release of LaTeX2e. These files are available on the
: AMS archive (e-math.ams.org) in the directory /ams/amslatex/temp-2e.
: Note that they only make a few adjustments to run without error in the
: `compatibility mode' of LaTeX2e.
:
: Development work is under way to produce version 1.2 of AMS-LaTeX which
: will be designed specifically for LaTeX2e. I.e., it will contain
: documentclass files that take advantage of various improvements provided
: by LaTeX2e. If all goes well AMS-LaTeX 1.2 will be released more or less
: simultaneously with the first full, official release of LaTeX2e, i.e.
: the release that makes LaTeX2.09 obsolete and makes `standard LaTeX'
: synonymous with LaTeX2e.
:
: The AMS strongly supports the LaTeX3 project and will continue the
: development of AMS-LaTeX in keeping with LaTeX development. LaTeX2e is
: an important step in this development because it makes AMS-LaTeX
: installation much easier: generating a separate LaTeX format file will
: no longer be required. The AMS encourages LaTeX users to upgrade their
: environment to LaTeX2e when the full, official release is made available.
