+README for tameflts.sty, 2004/04/21, 
+Uwe Lueck http://contact-ednotes.sty.de.vu . 
+
+The files address the problem that LaTeX floats and \marginpar 
+may cause misplacement of footnotes or footnote splits. (The 
+LaTeX code makes me also expect problems with \enlargethispage). 
+
+tameflts.sty  provides 
+              * a simple, experimental fix, maybe just as a 
+                contribution to discussion and as a summary of 
+                what other authors have contributed; 
+              * many explanations -- so go on reading there. 
+
+deml3541.tex  demonstrates the fix and adds a few explanations. 
+
+newbug.tex    demonstrates a weakness of tameflts, or that such a 
+              simple approach does not perfectly suffice, rather 
+              LaTeX needs an essentially new mechanism for 
+              handling floats indeed. 
+
+fltfltdk.tex  varies deml3541.tex to test interaction with Mats 
+              Dahlgren's package floatflt. 
+ 
+(The package was called `noreins.sty' earlier, in folder 
+`noreinserts'. Added infos on compatibility 2005/04/21.)

+%% deml3451.tex 2005/04/17
+% Basically David Kastrup's test code from latex/3541, 
+% edited by Uwe Lueck, http://contact-ednotes.sty.de.vu. 
+% Demonstrates bug and its fix by tameflts.sty. 
+% Run this and watch the order of the numbers in the 
+% footnote, and where it has its footnote mark; then 
+% remove the next `%' for the fix.

+    This is just test line \thexxx. \par 
+  }% 
+} and then a marginal note:\marginpar{\sffamily Look!}
+\end{document}
+
+REMARKs: 
+* It is essential that \marginpar comes after \footnote. This 
+  indicates how to avoid the problem in many situations without 
+  changing the output routine. Marginal notes are often used 
+  only at the beginning of a paragraph; then it is good to start 
+  with the \marginpar's, making sure that they appear in 
+  horizontal mode. 
+* The editing of the example from latex/3541 consisted in 
+  structuring and replacing TeX commands by LaTeX commands. The 
+  essence is, like in latex/3719 a very long footnote, with a 
+  \marginpar shortly following.

+REMARKS: 
+* Bug? This may be a matter of taste. However, I expect 
+  agreement here that it is better to use two pages instead of 
+  three (unless the user explicitly demands that the figure goes 
+  to its own page). 
+* I think the present example is rather artificial. 
+* `License' may be funny with a demo file. Yet the part of LPPL 
+  on changing/redistributing is useful here especially with the 
+  \usepackage line, which should remain commented out for 
+  distribution.
