[OS X TeX] new float categories

Mon Sep 14 21:57:21 CEST 2009

Thanks, I did find the new subfig ... in the end I just did a side-by- 
side solution and by brute force added a line for the (a) and (b)  
exhibits

TexShop is not finding my new styles unless they are in the folder I  
am working with ... I tried putting them in my library texmf folder  
but that doesn't seem to work
