I've got a little problem here I could use some help on. I'm writing
a fairly large document (30-50 pages) that will have lots of figures
in it. I use floating keeps to keep the figures together, but keep
losing track of what number I'm on. I'm also screwed anytime I add
or delete a figure. Does someone out there have a nifty little
macro to automatically number my figures for me? Sure would help
if they did.
My system is nroff (ditroff for the laser printer), the ms macro
package, UN*X 4.2 BSD (may have some 4.3 ms macros, I'm not sure).
Also, it probably makes no difference but my document is spread out
over around 9 files, arranged so I can format the whole thing at once
or just get a title page, the part I'm working on, and a table of
contents.
