A few updates are now available on FILESERV/Niord for:
 1. hangcaption.sty (update to 2.00) -- FILESERV name STY.HANGCAPTION
 2. subfigure.sty (update to 1.5)    -- FILESERV name STY.SUBFIGURE
 3. USCthesis.sty (update to 2.3)    -- FILESERV name STY.USCTHESIS
 4. techreport.sty (new file)        -- FILESERV name STY.TECHREPORT

David M. Jones <dmjones@theory.lcs.mit.edu> forwarded the update to
hangcaption.sty:
> The changes are as follows: I've incorporated Harm Bakker's bug fix so that
> only the caption numbers occur in the list of figures/tables, and not the
> word "Figure" or "Table".  I've also taken your advice and changed the
> macro's name from \isucaption to \hangcaption.  (The older form is still
> available for backwards compatibility.)  I've also rewritten the
> documentation to (hopefully) correctly document the current workings of the
> macro.
As an aside, we owe a debt of gratitude to David for inheriting then
thoroughly and patiently supporting this officially unsupported file.

Steven Douglas Cochran <sdc@MAPS.CS.CMU.EDU> forwarded the updates to the
remaining files.

subfigure.sty:
> Revision 1.5  92/08/11  23:13:12  sdc
> Fixed a bug which caused an problem with captions that contained
> expressions like \sqrt;  This was pointed out by Tom Scavo
> (scavo@cie.uoregon.edu).  A separate bug was fixed which caused different
> sized captions to be misaligned;  This problem was pointed out by Simon
> Marshall (S.Marshal@Hull.ac.uk).  Also cleaned up the code a mite and
> *changed* the figure spacing so that if no optional section is given, then
> the figure is only followed by \subfigbottomskip and not that plus
> (\subfigcapskip + \strut height).  This should make it easier to adjust
> spacing as desired.
>
> NOTE:  This revision may NOT produce exactly the same output as
>        previous versions.  In most cases the results will look the
>        same or better.


USCthesis.sty:
> Revision 2.3  92/08/13  14:22:21  sdc
> Added \universityname for easy use outside USC.  Also the \if@techreport
> switch can be used to turn off the one-side-only warning message (for
> better interface with the techreport style option).  Placed a check for
> TeX-3.0 to allow an old TeX to work without warnings.  Cleaned-up the code
> and comments a little.


techreport.sty
> NEW.  This is a style option for USCthesis.sty.  It allows a dissertation
> written using USCthesis.sty to be typeset for a Technical Report release.
