+
+ The float package
+ =================
+
+This package improves the interface for defining floating objects such
+as figures and tables in LaTeX. It adds the notion of a `float style'
+that governs appearance of floats. New kinds of floats may be defined
+using a \newfloat command analogous to \newtheorem. This style option
+also incorporates the functionality of David Carlisle's style option
+`here', giving floating environments a [H] option which means `PUT IT
+HERE' (as opposed to the standard [h] option which means `You may put
+it here if you like').
+
+Run `float.ins' through LaTeX to produce float.sty from float.dtx.
+Run `float.dtx' through LaTeX to produce the documentation.

+of the LaTeX Project Public License distributed from CTAN archives

+the License, or (at your option) any later version.
