Conclusions

Working on FLOATFIG.STY we had some unexpected problems which were caused by LATEX's somewhat unsafe assignments to the \everypar token list. This is due to the fact that the use of this token list is fundamental to the algorithm designed by Th. Reid. On the other hand we did expect problems to couple the Floating Figures with LATEX's figure caption adminstration, that is to achieve a single figure caption numbering for the standard figures and the Floating Figures and to get both types listed by the \listoffigures control sequence. But these problems could easily be solved by the following local definiton within the FLOATFIG environment:
   \def\@captype{figure}
Obviously this is due to the fact that LATEX's caption apparatus is thoroughly parameterized.

The FLOATFIG.STY file is stored in the EARN/BITNET listserver in Heidelberg;
VM/CMS users should enter the commands:

   TELL LISTSERV AT DHDURZ1 GET LATEXSTY INDEX
   TELL LISTSERV AT DHDURZ1 GET LATEXSTY README
   TELL LISTSERV AT DHDURZ1 GET LATEXSTY FILELIST
   TELL LISTSERV AT DHDURZ1 GET FLOATFIG ZOOUUE LATEXSTY
to obtain information about how to obtain the style option file.
