+     "AMS-TeX is a TeX macro package based on Plain TeX: it provides many
+features for producing more professional-looking maths formulas with less
+burden on authors.
+
+This is the final archival distribution of AMS-TeX.  AMS-TeX is no longer
+supported by the AMS, nor is it used by the AMS publishing program.  The AMS
+does not recommend creating any new documents using AMS-TeX; this distribution
+will be left on CTAN to facilitate processing of legacy documents and as
+a historical record of a pioneering TeX macro collection that played a key
+role in popularizing TeX and revolutionizing mathematics publishing.  AMS-TeX
+is the historical basis of @code{amslatex}, which should now be used to
+prepare submissions for the AMS.")
