This is the readme.1st file for the Packages Provided to for Psychometrika Authors WHAT'S CURRENTLY AVAILABLE: At this time we offer two packages for authors who use LaTeX2e. + Version 1B1 and Version 2A1 For Version 1 instructions, see the ``readme.txt'' file in the Version1B1 directory. For Version 2 instructions, see the ``howto.pdf'' and ``howto.tex'' files in the Version2A1 directory. These packages were last updated on 4 March 2002 Users who have used Version 1 in the past, and who were satisfied, can continue to use that version. Both versions will be supported and updated as the need arises. Authors who have not used Version 1 should probably use Version 2. For more information on these package consult the ``howto.pdf'' file in the Version2A1 directory.
