    This version of REVTeX is a cooperative product of the American Physical
    Society (APS), American Institute of Physics (AIP), and Optical Society of
    America (OSA).

    The Joint Society Task Force, comprised of AIP and AIP Member Societies has
    appointed a REVTeX Working Group in order to coordinate the development and
    evolution of a joint electronic publishing product and mark-up language
    standards amongst the participating societies.

    Those authors interested in publishing articles in the journals of the
    American Astronomical Society should use AASTeX (the LaTeX-based
    mark-up developed by the American Astronomical Society). One of the
    primary objectives of the REVTeX Working Group is to make REVTeX and
    AASTeX as similar as possible. Authors will use many of the same
    mark-up tags in manuscripts prepared using either REVTeX or AASTeX.
    Style differences in the journals---for example, the manner in which
    citations are handled (numerical reference or author/date
    format)---require that authors actually write different text. Thus, it
    is important that authors identify the journal they intend to publish
    in and use the appropriate electronic publishing product.

    %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% GETTING STARTED %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

    You must have TeX and LaTeX running to use these macros. All macros
    run on a standard LaTeX format.

    Installing to test the macros can be accomplished by copying all the
    files into an unused directory, then changing to that directory. All the
    files and facilities of REVTeX should then be usable while you are in that
    directory.

    A more permanent installation would usually mean installing the .sty files
    and reftest.tex file into the directory where TeX usually looks for input
    files, the .bst file into the directory where BibTeX usually looks for its
    style files, and the rest of the files into a REVTeX working directory or a
    public directory, depending on your system setup. Care should be taken to
    avoid writing over files already present. The files in the REVTeX package have
    been named to help avoid this problem, but there can be no guarantee that
    our file names are unique.

    If you are permanently upgrading an older version of REVTeX (<3.0), the files
    >from the old version should be removed first. You may delete these files or
    save them somewhere where they will not be found by TeX when it looks for
    style files. Here is a list of the older files:

	  readme        % make sure you only delete the REVTeX readme!
	  revtex.sty
	  aps.sty
	  aps10.sty
	  aps12.sty
	  preprint.sty
	  eqsecnum.sty
	  smplea.tex
	  smpleb.tex
	  smplec.tex
	  apguide.tex

    Older versions of REVTeX (<3.0) will not coexist with this version.

    The next thing you need to do is run LaTeX on the files for the input
    guide.  The input guide consists of common introductory material
    (manintro.tex), society-specific chapters (manaps.tex for APS,
    manosa.tex for OSA, manaip.tex for AIP and segman.tex for SEG), and common
    appendixes (manend.tex).  Run LaTeX on, and print, manintro.tex, the
    desired society-specific chapters, and manend.tex.  Gathering the
    printed material together in order will provide all needed
    information. There is a general table of contents in manintro.tex, and
    separate tables of contents in each society's chapter. Carefully read
    the intructions in the appropriate chapter of the Input Guide. The
    sample file(s) and template will also contain useful examples and
    explanations.

    You may get a number of ``Underfull \hbox . . .'' messages when running the
    documentation and samples; these are normal. Also, you may need to LaTeX
    these files three times to complete all references and build the table of
    contents.

    If needed, consult a local (La)TeX user or system support person for
    information on how to run LaTeX and print its output on your local system.

    Installation Summary-

    You can use the following sequence to view the APS manuals.

    To view the file called manintro.tex, run the following sequence of
    commands:

    latex manintro.tex
    latex manintro.tex
    xdvi manintro.dvi
    dvips manintro.dvi

    The first two lines run latex manintro.tex twice. This is necessary to
    ensure that all the references and labels are printed correctly. The
    third line, xdvi manintro.dvi, starts the dvi viewer (assuming that
    your viewer is called xdvi) and the fourth line converts the dvi file
    to a Postscript file (assuming your printers are Postscript printers).
    Repeat the previous steps for each section of the Input Guide.


    %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% REVTeX 3.1 WITH LaTeX 2e %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

      A couple of issues have arisen with the release of LaTeX 2e, and
    specifically with the 12/94 release. One is that the internal table/array
    commands of LaTeX have changed. This affects REVTeX's redefinitions,
    but there is a workaround. The following should be saved to filename
    revtex.cls and put into the same directory as your version 3.1 revtex.sty
    file. You should continue to use compatibility mode (i.e., \documentstyle
    rather than \documentclass) as this is not a full-fledged 2e class.

      Also, in compatibility mode REVTeX handles the amsfonts and amssymb
    options by looking for the amsfonts.sty and amssymb.sty files. This
    should work as long as you are using the beta of the AMS LaTeX files
    that are now on CTAN. When amssymb.sty, amsfonts.sty, amsgen.sty, and
    all the .fd files were made available to TeX (after unpacking via
    amslatex.ins and amsfonts.ins) REVTeX seemed to run OK with the amsfonts
    and amssymb style options. No testing was done with older macros (if
    there were any, ever . . .).

    %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% ERROR REPORTS %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

    Before you report an error please check that

      - the error isn't caused by obsolete versions of other software.
	LaTeX from 1986 is a good candidate; for example, negative indents
	(outdents) following an equation environment.

      - you use an original version of the package.


    If you think you have found a genuine bug please report it, together
    with the following information:

      - version of the REVTeX file(s)

      - version (date!) of your LaTeX

      - a short test file showing the behavior with all unnecessary
	coding removed. The log file showing the problem might also help.


    Errors should be reported to the person listed in your copy of the
    user guide.
