This is the file `README.aia', which accompanies the `aiaa'
distribution. This distribution is centered around a modification
to the standard article document class to produce aiaa-conformant
conference papers and journal submittals---it will even simulate
the typesetting of journal articles and notes for length-determination
purposes.  The distribution also contains a (mostly) aiaa-compliant
bibliographic style sheet for use with BibTeX, a 9pt style sheet,
a sample document, and other miscellaneous examples and test equipment.

To obtain the userguide and documentation, run LaTeX on `aiaa.dtx'
after running LaTeX on `aiaa.ins'.

The `aiaa' distribution consists of several files.  the first three
are the core, and the rest are examples and test equipment:

    aiaa.ins      - the installation driver for aiaa.dtx
    aiaa.dtx      - instructions on how to use the new class,
                    the code itself, the 9pt style, and the
                    bibliographic style sheet, all in
                    `docstrip'-able format
    aiaalgo.eps   - the aiaa logo in ecapsulated postscript format

    smpaiaa.tex   - a sample document
    smpfig.eps    - a sample figure for use with smpaiaa.tex
    smpbtx.bib    - a sample BibTeX database for use with smpaiaa.tex

    smpsubf.tex   - a sample document devoted entirely to various
                    subfigure layouts

    smptalk.tex   - a sample presentation using `slides' classs
    smptalk.sty   - a sample package for use with smptalk.tex

    tstref.tex    - an additional document made for specifically
                    testing the aiaa bibliographic style
    tstbtx.bib    - the BibTeX database that goes with aiaaref.tex

Anyone is free to re-distribute these files provided the restrictions
mentioned in 'aiaa.ins' are obeyed.  These are mainly that the
three core files always must be distributed as a whole and that
no one is allowed to distribute the files for profit.

Note: this distribution is not connected with the AIAA in any way, it
      simply represents the product of several people's efforts to
      create a usable AIAA LaTeX2e template for conference papers
      and journal sumissions.
