This file provides information on the initial version of a REVTeX style file
for RMP authors.


  If you do not have TeX, LaTeX, and REVTeX v3.1, you should first
obtain and install these packages. If you already have these
installed, then very little is required to use the RMP macros.


  You should have received or acquired:

    readme.rmp (this file)
    rmp.sty (REVTeX style file for RMP style)


  To install, just put the rmp.sty file into the directory that holds all
of your other .sty files, or put it into the directory where you will be
working on your RMP compuscript file. It may be better to keep the file in
a completely separate directory since this is just the initial version, and
may soon be superceded.


  To use the RMP style file, simply use the documentstyle line:

     \documentstyle[rmp,aps]{revtex}

You should make sure that you are using REVTeX v3.1. You can use the eqsecnum
style option with the rmp style option.


  Here are the differences between the RMP style and the existing REVTeX styles
for other journals:

   (1) The front matter, section headings, figure and table captions,
       references, and section cross references are all set in the
       proper RMP styles when rmp.sty is in use.

   (2) The table of contents macro has been rewritten to give RMP-style
       output automatically.

   (3) Reference citations and ordering of the reference list in the
       RMP style must be accomplished "manually." There is no
       automatic numbering or ordering of the references in the
       reference list, and no automatic cross referencing (i.e., the
       \cite{#1} command will not work). There is no BibTeX style file
       for RMP at this time.
