Anselm Lingnau has recently released version 1.1c of his float.sty
(available from at least Stuttgart and SHSU). (He claims to have
announced this on c.t.t, but I must have missed it over Christmas.)

float.sty implements a nice mechanism for defining new float types in
addition to LaTeX's standard `figure' and `table'. 

With the new version, floating environments are all given an optional
argument, [H], which *FORCES* the float to appear HERE, as opposed to
the standard [h] argument which just gives LaTeX the *option* of
putting it in that place.

This [H] mechanism is currently offered by my here.sty (available from
the usual places) however here.sty and float.sty could not be used
together, hence this new version by Anselm merging the two styles.

I would be grateful if any users of here.sty pick up a copy of
float.sty v1.1c and try out the [H] system as implemented there.
If I do not get any strong objections, I plan to ask the archives to
*remove* here.sty from public access in the near future.

[H]appy New Year
