Latex puts the caption of figures and tables either on top or at the bottom
of the figure/table (postscript figures included). Is there a way to put
the caption not at the bottom but in one side (left or right) of the
table/figure. This would be possible if the figure/table has say
a width of less than 5cm and I would like to put at one side the caption
which would be a paragraph (parbox) with a width of also less than 5cm.
The sum of the two widths should be less than \textwidth.
Captions which are longer than one line are also a problem, because they
should be included in parboxes and are therefore typeset with the 
table/figure number not in the right place (beginning of paragraph 
in the first line).

If there is a sty file, which enables such captions (than it should work
for both tables and figures), or if someone knows a way to doit, please
E-mail me.

Graphically, i would like to have:

+---------------------+ 
|                     | Fig. 1: This the caption to figure 1,
|                     | which begins at the top of that figure.
|                     |
|   figure/table      |  
|                     | 
|                     | Fig. 1: This is the caption to figure 1, 
|                     | which ends at the bottom line of that figure.
