i would like to know what is the exact connection (if any)
of LaTeX2e and AMS-LaTeX. Is some of the following cases
valid?
- LaTeX2e contains AMS-LaTeX (by this I mean commads from
  amstex.sty).
- AMS-LaTeX (styles from AMS-LaTeX) can be run under LaTeX2e.
- Styles from AMS-LaTeX (mainly amstex) run under LaTeX2e
  after some little rearrangemetns.
- Styles from AMS-LaTeX are not compatible with LaTeX2e
  (I think that in this case most of users of AMS-LaTeX
  will not want to use LaTeX2e - I hope that it is not
  this case).
Thank you for your informations.
