How intrusive would this change be? kgoetz

Removing amslatex would render Texlive practically useless for all kinds of scientific writings - the raison d’etre of Tex and Latex. ben I contacted the AMS for more info, will let you know asap. ben

Bug status changed. kgoetz

Here is some of the related discussion: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnewsense-dev/2009-07/msg00125.html kgoetz

Code written, waiting on the 00LICENCE file AMSLATEX promised us. When thats ready this can be closed. kgoetz
