Provides support for the manipulation and reference of small or ‘sub’ figures and tables within a single figure or table environment. It is convenient to use this package when your subfigures are to be separately captioned, referenced, or are to be included in the List-of-Figures. A new \subfigure command is introduced which can be used inside a figure environment for each subfigure. An optional first argument is used as the caption for that subfigure.

The package is now considered obsolete: it was superseded by subfig, but users may find the more recent subcaption package more satisfactory.
