Otherwise, \clear(double)page, h(!), H from the +float package, or \FloatBarrier from the picins package might help. + +Note: The main code of this package was invented by +Don Hosek, Quixote, 1990/07/27 (Thanks!). +Maintenace has been taken over in September 2010 by H.-Martin M\"{u}nch. + + +2 DOWNLOAD +========== + +'morefloats' is available on CTAN: + CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/morefloats/ + +Also a ZIP file is provided that contains the files, already +sorted in a TDS tree: + CTAN:install/macros/latex/contrib/morefloats.tds.zip + +'CTAN:' means one of the 'Comprehensive TeX Archive Network' +nodes or one of its mirrors. This is explained in + http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=archives + +The CTAN stuff will be mirrored automatically from the +ftp server, so + ftp://ftp.tug.org/pub/tex/morefloats/ +corresponds to + CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/morefloats/ + + +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 CTAN:tds.zip 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 or the TUG server. + If necessary, unpack them. +b) If directory 'beta' exists, replace the files by the + counterparts in this directory, if you want to use the + latest versions. +c) Generate the package and driver files: + tex morefloats.ins +d) Install the files '*.sty', and '*.cfg' in your TDS tree: + cp *.sty *.cfg TDS:tex/latex/morefloats/ + Replace 'TDS:' by the prefix of your TDS tree + (texmf directory). +e) Copy the documentation files to + "TDS:doc/latex/morefloats/": + README, morefloats.pdf, morefloats-example.tex. +f) 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). +g) Update the databases if necessary, e. g. for teTeX: + mktexlsr .../texmf + + +4 ADDITIONAL PACKAGES +===================== + +morefloats itself loads the kvoptions package, + CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/oberdiek/kvoptions.dtx +which again loads other packages +(see the result of the \listfiles command in the log-file + of morefloatsexample.tex). + + +5 PACKAGE COMPATIBILITY +======================= + +There are no known incompatibilities (yet). + +6 AUTHOR/MAINTAINER +===================== + +* Author of the original main code: + Don Hosek, Quixote, 1990/07/27 (Thanks!) +* Author of the recent package and maintainer: + Hans-Martin Münch + + +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 informations 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 informations 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! + +Bug address +----------- +Bug reports can be send to the maintainer: + Hans-Martin Münch + <Martin [dot] Muench [at] Uni-Bonn [dot] de> + + +8 KNOWN PROBLEMS +================= + +* If you request too much floats, (La)TeX will run out of + dimensions, memory,...
