  The APS, in cooperation with some other US physics societies, are working
on a new version of REVTeX. REVTeX is a LaTeX style that can be used to
submit articles electronically to Physical Review and Physical Review Letters.
Announcements from other societies will be made upon final release.

  We (APS) are interested in having authors test out the new APS macros before
they are released. Any authors who use LaTeX or REVTeX can try them out.
I'm especially interested in having the OFSS/NFSS/AMSFonts stuff tested.
The differences from the present version:

        More LaTeX-y syntax. The style is now a superset of article style.
        LaTeX capabilities are supported, even if not needed for APS (e.g.,
        table of contents). Exception: tables and figures do not float.

        Style options to support the AMS fonts (amsfonts option) and symbol
        names (amssymb option). These should work similarly on the OFSS and
        NFSS. (On the NFSS they use the AMS style files with the same names.
        On the OFSS they use APS macros.)

        Extra symbols.

        Automatic table footnoting. Tablenotes work just like footnotes.

        A BibTeX style file for Physical-Review-style bibliographies.

        A tool for authors that type in their bibliographies by hand. It
        is a TeX file that reads the aux file and tells you if you have
        any uncited bibitems or undefined cites, and tells you if you have
        the bibitems in order of first citation. If the bibitems are out
        of order, it gives you the correct order. (This is Phys Rev style.)

        Simple alignments on decimals in tabulars.

        Journal-specific style options. This mainly affects PRB authors,
        who can now get superscript citations. Other journal options use
        the usual on-line citations.

        Plus the capabilities of the last version: Phys Rev style, equation
        numbering, both submission and final output options.

  Documentation is in LaTeX article style, but a little primitive. No new format
need be compiled. Support is available directly from APS. These macros are not
for permanent/global installation or redistribution. If you are interested,
please contact me at the address below.

Thanks.
