+
+  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.
