 an trying to get figures to be numbered continuously through my
thesis rather than numbered within chapters. I realize that I need a
\global command somewhere either in the \makecaption, \caption of
\figure definitions in latex.tex but I can not figure out where to
place it.

any ideas?.

By the way can someone tell me what the various lines in the figure or
table definition mean. What signifigance is placed on TYPE firstly
being a power of 2 and the fact that tables are different to
figures.??

Thanks all,
