I just obtained the latest TeX distribution and have TeX, LaTeX,
SliTeX, and Metafont up and running. I know nothing about AMS TeX,
other than vaguely what it is for. It seems to be included with the
distribution. How do I install it, and how is it used? What is it good
for, so I can encourage local users to try it out?

Does it involve making an amstex.fmt, and a link from virtex to
amstex?

Is there a README I haven't noticed that answers all my questions?
