Please respond by EMAIL.

I can't figure out why latex is floating my figures all the way to the
back of the document. The first figure is about a half-page high, and
there is plenty of surrounding text (about 30 pages). No amount of
fiddling with parameters convinces it to come sooner. I have to resort
to \clearpage. What can I try?

Here's my latest settings. I use [htb] as the location option,
although [h], [ht], and [htbp] do the same thing.

\setcounter{topnumber}{2}
\setcounter{bottomnumber}{2}
\renewcommand{\topfraction}{.9}
\renewcommand{\bottomfraction}{.9}
\renewcommand{\floatpagefraction}{.1}
\renewcommand{\textfraction}{.1}

Thanks in advance,
dave
