1 INTRODUCTION
==============
The current 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 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,...
