Steven Douglas Cochran writes (making it possible for me to produce two separate announcements, but it's late and i'm bundling them into one):

BEGIN======================== subfigure package ========================

1. Name of your contribution: subfigure

   Your name: Steven Douglas Cochran

   Summary description: LaTeX package for providing support for the inclusion of small, `sub', figures and tables. It simplifies the positioning, captioning and labeling of them within a single figure or table environment. In addition, this package allows such subcaptions to be written to the List of Figures or List of tables if desired.

   Suggested CTAN directory: macros/latex/contrib/supported/subfigure/

   Short text for announcement:

    The subfigure package version 2.1 is finally (officially)
    released.  If you have been using version 2.0 or earlier,
    than you should notice no difference in its default behavior.
    If you have been using a beta release of version 2.1, you may
    need to add the tight option to maintain the same
    look-and-feel that you are used to.  In addition, if you
    use the options: RM, SF, TT, MD, BF, IT, SL, SC, or UP; you
    will need to add their lowercase counterparts to get the same
    output (see below).
   
   

   The main differences are:

   1. Bug fixes.

   2. Second optional argument to subfigure to allow control over the list-of-figures entry separately from the subcaption.

   3. A tight option for a more compact and better looking arrangement of your subfigures, the subcaptions and the main caption.

      4. A subref command to allow references to the subfigure without the associated figure number (useful in the main caption).

      5. New raggedright option for the subcaption. Also, changed the RM, SF, TT, MD, BF, IT, SL, SC, and UP options to only affect the label portion of the subcaption. Their lowercase counterparts affect the subcaption text as before. You can now combine some of these options for different effects---see the documentation.

3. Uploaded file(s): The uploaded subfigure.tar.gz file unzips and untars into a local ./subfigure directory. The contents of this directory are:

END========================== subfigure package ========================

BEGIN======================== captcont package =========================

1. Name of your contribution: captcont

   Your name: Steven Douglas Cochran

   Summary description:

    LaTeX package for providing support for retaining a figure or
    table number across several float environments---usually over
    several pages.  It also allows control over the contents of
    the List-of-Figures and the List-of-Tables pages.
   
   

   Suggested CTAN directory: macros/latex/contrib/supported/captcont/

   Short text for announcement:

     The captcont package provides the ability to continue the
     numbering in your float environment (figure, table, etc.)
     with a minimal overhead.  This package adds three commands:
     caption*, captcont, and captcont*.  Along with the
     caption command, these give full control over the caption
     numbering, caption text and the entries in the list-of
     pages.
   
       o  caption and captcont generate list-of page entries.
   

   o caption and caption* increment the figure or table counter.

     This package also fully supports the subfigure package.

3. Uploaded file(s): The uploaded captcont.tar.gz file unzips and untars into a local ./captcont directory. The contents of this directory are:

   Makefile To install or process documentation on a UNIX system. README Manifest and overview of these files.

   captcont.dtx Code and documentation. captcont.ins

   test.tex Test / example file.

i've installed the files as suggested. thanks for the uploads.
