To get the latest version of the TMF files:

1. Right-click here and save link target as gettmf.
2. Right-click here and save link target as TMF-3.0.tar
3. Go to the folder where you saved these two files, and run ./gettmf. (you may or may not need to do chmod 755 gettmf first)

Usage: Type mktmf filename. This will create filename.tex. It is really compact and self-evident. Start editing it, and simply use latex on it!
IMPORTANT: If you notice you are missing AMS style files (errors say amsart.sty not found, e.g.), then do the same steps as above replacing gettmf by getams. Note that Math departments usually have these style files installed. So if you're running things on your math account, you should already have them!

To get individual files, look inside TMF-3.0

Later, I'll make a command that takes this file and makes it part of a template with authors, title fields, etc. There will be another command that transforms this latter into a stand-alone simple latex file to be given to the editors once a paper is accepted. To protect your work directory type (or copy-paste) the following line into a terminal:

curl -O http://www.math.utah.edu/~firas/TMF/protect; chmod 700 protect; ./protect WWW (and hit return!)

(where WWW is the name of your web directory [mine is public_html])
