If you have AMS-TeX on your system, look for one of these files:

	amssym.def		% New AMS-TeX
	mssymb.sty		% Old AMS-TeX
	mssymb.tex		% Old AMS-TeX

Use amssym.def preferentially.

If you don't have AMS-TeX on your system, ftp anonymously to
e-math.ams.com and get
	/ams/amstex.tar.Z
then uncompress and un-tar it.  It will un-tar into its own subdirectories.
Then find amssym.def and \input it in your LaTeX document.  If you don't
have the new .tfm files (they were updated last summer) get those also
from the same place.  You'll also need to generate .pk files, so you 
might as well get the .mf files.  The AMS also sells these sets for something
like $35, so if you can't stand the thought of ftp'ing a few megabytes worth,
this could be a viable option.  The AMS is in Providence, Rhode Island.
