Appended to the end of this message you will find four files used to create
a TeX abstract for electronic submission to the American Mathematical Society.

The beginning of each file is marked by "%+++START OF FILE:xxx" where "xxx" is
the file name of that particular file.  Divide this message into the four files
and name them as indicated. The instructions in these files will describe how
to input your abstract into a file which can be submitted to the AMS, and
instructions for how to submit the file electronically.

                      AMS Electronic Abstract Submission
			      AMS-TeX Submissions


This package requires AMS-TeX version 2.0.  If you do not have this version,
call the AMS Customer Services department at one of the numbers given below
for help in obtaining it.

There are four files provided to aid you in the preparation of an AMS abstract
to be submitted in electronic form. They are:

     1).  readme.doc   --- the file you are now reading, which gives 
                           an overview of the submission process

     2).  amsabs.sty   --- the abstract header macro file---DO NOT
                           MAKE ANY CHANGES TO THIS FILE!!!

     3).  instruct.tex --- the TeX source file for documentation on using
                           the abstract header macros

     4).  example.tex  --- the file containing the AMS Electronic Abstract
                           Processing Information Section (necessary for the
                           processing of your abstract) and a template for 
                           preparing an electronic abstract file.


The actual macro definitions are contained in the file, amsabs.sty. First
copy this file to your TeX directory. NO changes should ever be made to it.

The instruct.tex file should be TeXed and printed to give you the instruc-
tions for preparing an abstract to submit electronically to the American
Mathematical Society (AMS).

To type your abstract, copy the example.tex file to another file name, for
example, abstract.tex. Then edit the new file (abstract.tex) and fill in the 
necessary data pertinent to you and the abstract. Make sure the top section
(Processing Information Section) is filled in completely, or the
processing of your abstract may be delayed.

When your abstract is in its final form and ready to be sent to the AMS,
either send your abstract file (abstract.tex) via an electronic network system 
(e-mail) using the following INTERNET address:  
                                                ABS-SUBMIT@MATH.AMS.COM

or mail a diskette (IBM or Macintosh) containing your abstract.tex file to:

                        Abstracts
                        Editorial Department

                        Providence, RI  02904   USA

If you have questions or problems with the electronic abstract header file,
you may contact the AMS Technical Support Group at 800-321-4AMS (321-4267)
or 401-455-4080.

\vskip14pt
An electronic American Mathematical Society (AMS) abstract consists of three
main sections: the processing information section, the heading (or topmatter)
section, and the text (or document) section. The processing information
section is for AMS office use only and
will not print when the abstract file is \TeX{}ed. The topmatter section is
printed in twelve-point type with single line spacing and a left indentation
of 1.5 inches. The document section is also twelve point, but it has
one-and-one-half line spacing and no left indentation.  Before the final
publication, the abstract will be reduced to 65\%.

These instructions and the other files in this package require \AmSTeX{}
version 2.0.  If you do not have this version, follow the instructions in
\filnam{readme.doc} for obtaining it.

The \AmSTeX{} header file (\filnam{amsabs.sty}) contains macros that are
defined to typeset the abstract in the AMS abstract format when the necessary
commands are entered. This header file sets the {\typew\\hsize} and
{\typew\\vsize} so your abstract must fit on a single page after it is
\TeX{}ed.  If your \TeX{}ed abstract is more than one page, it is too long and
should be rewritten to meet the AMS requirements.

\vskip4pt
Preparing an abstract source file using the \AmSTeX{} header is relatively
simple.  If you have not already done so, copy the \filnam{example.tex} file
provided to a file called \filnam{abstract.tex}. Once you have an
\filnam{abstract.tex} file, you can edit it and enter the information for the
three sections.

\vskip3pt
\noindent{\bf The Processing Information Section}

The first section in the \filnam{abstract.tex} file is the processing
information section, which must be filled in completely. When you enter the
data in this section, be careful not to delete any of the percent signs
({\typew\%}) at the beginning of each line.  This information will not print
when the abstract file is \TeX{}ed; it is for AMS office use only.

\vskip3pt
\noindent{\bf The Topmatter Section}

The next section is the beginning of the actual \TeX{} file, and contains the
heading or topmatter section. The first three lines of this section are:
\command
\\input amstex\newline
\\documentstyle\{amsabs\}\newline
\%\\proof
\endcommand

The {\typew\\input amstex} line imports the \AmSTeX{} macro file and the
{\typew \\documentstyle\{amsabs\}} line uses the header file that formats
your \filnam{abstract.tex} file according to the AMS abstract style. The
{\typew \%\\proof} line is explained below, under the section called ``Special
Cases.''

The next line, the {\typew\\topmatter} line, indicates the beginning of the
information specific to your abstract.
The text entered between the {\typew\\topmatter} and
{\typew\\endtopmatter} lines will be set in the author/address section of
the typeset abstract.
All the necessary commands are included in the file, but the
appropriate information will need to be typed within the curly braces of
each command. Punctuation must be entered as part of the text of the
appropriate commands. The general rules regarding the use
of punctuation within the author/address information are given in the section
called ``Author/address Punctuation.''

Type the author's name (and the appropriate punctuation) on the
{\typew\\author} line.
\command
\\author\{John E. Doe,\}
\endcommand

After the author's name, enter his/her address on the {\typew\\address}
line.
\command
\\address\{University of North State, Somewhere, NY 02001.\}
\endcommand
\noindent
Again, the ending punctuation must be supplied.

In the example file, there are commands provided for two authors and two
addresses. If there is only one author, delete the extra {\typew\\author} and
{\typew\\address} lines, or type a {\typew\%} before each of the superfluous
lines. If more than two authors and/or addresses are needed, simply type
additional {\typew\\author} and/or {\typew\\address} lines in your file.
(See the ``Special Cases'' section below.)

The final part of the topmatter
section is the title of the paper. Type the paper's title between the curly
braces on the {\typew\\title} line,
\command
\\title\{The title of the paper.\}
\endcommand
\noindent
with the ending period included as part of the title.

If this is a preliminary report, the {\typew\%} before the {\typew\\prelim}
command must be deleted.

The topmatter section is now complete and ends with the
{\typew \\endtopmatter} line.

\vskip3pt
\noindent{\bf The Text Section}

The final section, the text of the abstract, begins with the {\typew
\\document} line. Type the abstract, using whatever \AmSTeX{} and/or \TeX{}
commands you wish to use, between the {\typew\\document} line and the {\typew
\\enddocument} line. When all the text is entered, the final line of the file
must be the {\typew \\enddocument} line.

&list the author with the unique address first; a comma follows the

Do not enter any punctuation after the last name of the second
author. A comma follows the third author's last name. An empty address is
entered for the second author and the third address ends with a period.

}}

\break\vskip3pt
\noindent{\bf Special Cases}

For more than two authors and/or addresses in the topmatter section, enter
each additional author/address with a separate {\typew \\author}\{Author Name\}
command. Do not type the word ``and'' in any of the {\typew \\author}
entries---\TeX{} will insert an ``and'' in the proper place when the file is
printed.

If both multiple authors and addresses occur, be sure to list the addresses
in the same order as the authors. This is true whenever there are two or more
authors and/or addresses. Multiple authors and address may be entered either
as

\vskip6pt
\tabskip=2em plus1fil
\halign{{\typew #\hfill}&\hfill #\hfill&{\typew #\hfill}\cr
      \\author\{First Author,\}&&\\author\{First Author,\}\cr

      \\author\{Second Author,\}&& \\address\{First Author's address,\}\cr
      \\address\{Second Author's address.\}&&
        \\address\{Second Author's address.\}\cr
}

\noindent
Both of the last two examples of input will result in the same \TeX{}ed output.

\noindent{\bf DO NOT TYPE:}


{\obeylines\obeyspaces
\typew\parskip=1pt

         \\author\{First Author,\}
         \\author\{Second Author,\}
         \\address\{Second Author's address.\}
         \\address\{First Author's address,\}
 }

\vskip2pt
\noindent
This would typeset the second author's address after the first author's
name and the first author's address after the second author's name.

The final printed abstract will be reduced, so the initial line length
is $8 {1\over 2}$ inches. Because of the margins required on most
printers, the lines of the abstract dvi files will run off the page when
printed unless the paper is printed in ``landscape'' mode (rotated 90$^\circ$).
If you wish to print your abstract for proofing purposes, but do not
have a printer that can print ``landscape'' copy, delete the \%\ before
the {\typew \\proof} command in your source file. In ``proof'' mode,
\TeX{} will set line lengths proportional for $8{1\over 2}''\times 11''$
paper, so the printed abstract still must fit on one page.
$\underline{\text{\bf NOTE:}}$ Line endings will {\bf *not*} be the same
in proof mode as they will be in the final mode.

Following are two examples of \AmSTeX{} abstract source files which were
formatted in proof mode. Both examples are from {\it Abstracts of papers
presented to the American Mathematical Society} (1988), Volume 9, Number 5.
