Christmas is coming up, and a new version of my float style package has been
made available for anonymous FTP:

`float.sty' lets you define new classes of floats in a manner analogous to
\newtheorem{...}. It also adds the notion of a `float style' governing the
appearance of floating objects much like the `page style' governs the 
appearance of pages in a document.

The main difference between Version 1.1c and previous versions is that Version
1.1c incorporates the functionality of David Carlisle's `here.sty'. Although
LaTeX provides a float placement specifier [h], commonly called `here', this
specifier only suggests to LaTeX `put the float here if you like'. here.sty 
and float.sty support another specifier, [H], meaning `PUT IT HERE'. With
float.sty, the [H] specifier is available for LaTeX's standard floats as
well as newly-defined classes of floats.

float.sty 1.1c replaces the former multi-file distribution of `float'. The
style contains its own documentation, but Frank Mittelbach et al.'s `doc'
package (available from all good servers) is required to take advantage of
this. With the `docstrip' package, float.sty can be converted to a nearly
comment-less, fast-loading file.

float.sty 1.1c is available as ftp.math.uni-frankfurt.de:pub/tex/float.sty
(141.2.90.2 for those without a name service). I've been trying to upload it
to Stuttgart, but I can't get any packets through :-( Maybe on Monday.

Acknowledgements: David Carlisle proof-read and tested this version of
float.sty. But for him you'd all be in for some nasty surprises :-) Thanks
also to FM and all of those who collaborated on the `doc' package.

Merry Christmas to all of you,

Anselm
