In LaTeX how do you stop figures floating around apart from
\begin{figure}[h]

I want to know exactly where they appear as I use a \special to include
graphics in the  output, but the area where I put the picture is not the
same when I left the space for it....very annoying.

Ideally I would like a macro which would also allow the special to float
to the same page as the figure has floated to..
