Previously I asked:

>\end{figure}

I now have 2 solutions:

1) Use subfigure.sty with a modified definition of subfigure.  This
was pointed out to me and is well documented by the Steve Cochran
(author of subfigure.sty) in his V1.6 (prerelease).

2) Do something like:
\noindent \begin{figure}[tb]
  \begin{center}
    \begin{tabular}{cc}
      \makebox[3.25in][l]{\postscript{3.25in}{Allspec}} &
          \makebox[3.25in][l]{\postscript{3.25in}{Cspec}} \\
      Figure \protect\ref{fig:allspec} & Figure \protect\ref{fig:cspec}\\
    \end{tabular}
  \end{center}
  \caption{Left figure caption goes here. \label{fig:allspec}}
  \caption{Right figure caption goes here. \label{fig:cspec}}
\end{figure}

The difference in the methods lies in the location of the figure caption.
In 1, the figure caption has a width equal to the subfigure.  In 2,
the captions appear below one another, at the full width of the text.

Thanks for the input.
