% README -- Contents of the AASTeX package distribution
Thanks for your interest in the AASTeX package for manuscript preparation. This directory contains all the files in the distribution. They are described briefly below. Following the file descriptions are short installation instructions, the generic recipe for printing the user guide and sample, and information about contacting us regarding the distribution.
cls/aastex.cls The AASTeX class file
docs/aasguide.tex The user guide for the package
docs/aasguide.pdf PDF of the user guide
docs/aassymbols.tex Tables of AASTeX and AMS symbols commands
docs/aassymbols.pdf PDF of the symbols tables
sample/sample.tex Sample paper with "typical" content and markup
sample/table.tex Sample table file demonstrating capabilities
of deluxetable
other/natbib.sty The natbib citation package (v7.1)
other/natnotes.tex The natbib reference guide
other/natnotes.pdf PDF of the natbib reference
You will also find the following sample graphics and supplemental materials files.
sample/f1.eps Sample figure files
sample/f2.eps
sample/f2_color.eps
sample/f3.eps
sample/video3.mpg A sample MPEG animation
sample/datafile1.txt A machine-readable version of Table 1 from sample.tex
INSTALLING THE CLASS FILE
The aastex.cls file must be installed so that LaTeX can find it. To use AASTeX locally, simply place it in the same directory as your LaTeX file.
To install AASTeX for global use on your system, copy the aastex.cls (and natbib.sty if it is not already on your system) into the directory where your LaTeX installation expects to find class files.
Alternately, Unix/Linux users can use the make file included with the distribution. Simply adjust the Makefile so that the INSTALLDIR parameter is set to the directory where your installation expects to find class files, e.g.
INSTALLDIR = /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/misc
If you have teTeX installed, run "texconfig conf" to see what TEXMFMAIN is.
Once the INSTALLDIR parameter is set correctly in the Makefile, type "make install" at the prompt. (You must have the necessary write permission in the system area where LaTeX files are installed.)
If you are using teTeX, you will need to update the LaTeX cache by typing "texconfig rehash."
Please see the AASTeX Web site FAQ at http://aastex.aas.org/
For additional installation notes or contact the help desk at
aastex-help@aas.org for assistance.
PRINTING THE GUIDE AND SAMPLES
The user guide is written in AASTeX preprint2 style. To print it out on a PostScript printer , you will need a DVI driver that will output to PostScript. If you wish to print to PostScript, and you are on a Unix or Linux system, the DVI driver on your computer system is probably called "dvips". To print out the user guide DVI file, type
prompt> dvips aasguide
To create and print your own DVI file, type
prompt> latex aasguide
prompt> latex aasguide
prompt> dvips aasguide
There are various system- and program-specific eccentricities which cannot be fully enumerated here. Some things to watch out for:
1. On some systems, LaTeX does not permit a filename extension (the .tex) on the input file specification; .tex is assumed.
2. The user interfaces for DVI drivers are quite inconsistent. Some operate in an interactive mode, asking the user about variable setup parameters, while some only accept control input on the command line.
3. On some systems, DVI translation and printing are combined, so one would enter only one OS command after running LaTeX. This is typically the case for dvips.
Since LaTeX installations vary widely, you may need to consult the documentation for your particular installation or your local system administator for guidance in installing and using AASTeX.
ADMINISTRATIVE DETAILS
AASTeX was designed and written by Chris Biemesderfer in 1988. Substantial revisions were made by Lee Brotzman and Pierre Landau when the package was updated to v4.0. AASTeX was rewritten as a LaTeX class by Arthur Ogawa for the v5.0 release. It was updated to v5.2 by SR Nova Private Ltd. The documentation has benefited from revisions by Jeannette Barnes, Sara Zimmerman, and Greg Schwarz.
