Basic comparison between the standard document classes in LATEX just to illustrate the differences between
the environment within each class. Adopted from Albert.Ornstein.

12 Remarks
Originally AMS-LATEX was separate from LATEX , but in the new version of LATEX , called LATEX2e , introduced
three years ago, all these separate programs became LATEX packages. So now AMS-LATEX is just a set of
LATEX packages.
