+1 INTRODUCTION
+==============
+
+The limit of unprocessed floats, 18, can be increased with this
+morefloats package. Otherwise, \clear(double)page, h(!), H from the
+float package, or \FloatBarrier from the picins package might help.
+
+Note: The original main code of this package
+(without \extrafloats from LaTeX 2015) was invented by
+Don Hosek, Quixote, 1990/07/27 (Thanks!).
+Maintenance has been taken over in September 2010 by H.-Martin M\"{u}nch.

+2 DOWNLOAD
+==========
+
+`morefloats' is available on CTAN:
+https://www.ctan.org/pkg/morefloats
+
+Also a ZIP file is provided that contains the files:
+the manual (morefloats.pdf), the example (morefloats-example.tex),
+the compiled example (morefloats-example.pdf),
+driver (morefloats.drv), morefloats.dtx,
+installation file (morefloats.ins),
+the style file (morefloats.sty),
+and this README, already sorted in a TDS tree:
+http://mirrors.ctan.org/install/macros/latex/contrib/morefloats.tds.zip
+
+
+3 INSTALLATION
+==============
+
+Installation with ZIP file in TDS format
+----------------------------------------
+The ZIP file `morefloats.tds.zip' contains the files
+sorted in a TDS tree. Thus you can directly unpack the
+ZIP file inside a TDS tree.
+See https://www.ctan.org/TDS-guidelines for an explanation
+of TDS.
+Example:
+ cd /...somewhere.../texmf
+ unzip /...downloadpath.../morefloats.tds.zip
+Do not forget to refresh the file name database of this
+TDS tree.
+Example:
+ texhash /...somewhere.../texmf
+(and check for old morefloats.sty at other locations in your
+ TeX installation).
+
+Manual installation
+-------------------
+a) Download the morefloats files from CTAN.
+ If necessary, unpack them.
+b) Check for old morefloats.sty at other locations in your
+ TeX installation and delete them (or back them up,
+ but in a way TeX does NOT find them automatically).
+c) Generate the package and driver files:
+ tex morefloats.dtx
+d) Install the file `morefloats.sty' in your TDS tree:
+ cp morefloats.sty TDS:tex/latex/morefloats/
+ Replace `TDS:' by the prefix of your TDS tree
+ (texmf directory).
+e) Create the documentation, if necessary, e.g.
+ pdflatex morefloats.dtx
+ makeindex -s gind.ist morefloats.idx
+ pdflatex morefloats.dtx
+ makeindex -s gind.ist morefloats.idx
+ pdflatex morefloats.dtx
+f) Update the databases if necessary, e.g. for teTeX:
+ mktexlsr .../texmf
+g) Create the morefloats-example.pdf, if necessary, e.g.
+ pdflatex morefloats-example.tex
+ pdflatex morefloats-example.tex
+ pdflatex morefloats-example.tex
+h) Copy the documentation files to
+ "TDS:doc/latex/morefloats/":
+ README, morefloats.pdf, morefloats-example.tex,
+ morefloats-example.pdf.
+
+
+4 ADDITIONAL PACKAGES
+=====================
+
+morefloats itself loads the kvoptions package:
+https://ctan.org/pkg/kvoptions
+which again loads other packages
+(see the result of the \listfiles command in the log-file
+ of the example).
+When an old LaTeX format is used, additionally the
+https://ctan.org/pkg/ifetex
+package is used.
+
+
+5 PACKAGE COMPATIBILITY
+=======================
+
+There are no known incompatibilities.

+
+7 BUG REPORTS
+==============
+
+A bug report should contain:
+* Comprehensive problem description. This includes error or
+ warning messages.
+* \errorcontextlines=\maxdimen can be added in the
+ TeX code to get more information in TeX error messages.
+* Minimal test file that shows the problem, but does not
+ contain any unnecessary packages and code.
+* Used drivers/programs.
+* Version information about used packages and programs.
+* If you are using LaTeX, then add "\listfiles". Then
+ a list of version information is printed at the end
+ of the LaTeX run.
+* Please no other files than the minimal test file.
+ The other files .log, .dvi, .ps, .pdf are seldom
+ necessary, so send them only on request.
+* Please .zip or .tar.gz your file(s) before sending them!

+8 KNOWN PROBLEMS
+=================
+
+* If you request too many floats, (La)TeX will run out of
+ memory. When testing, this happened when requesting
+ more than 1570 (!) floats. \ No newline at end of file
