I am a new member to this group, I do not know if this question has been asked 
before or not, I like to know if there is an easy way to give to figures
that are next to each other different captions with  different figure numbers


	------------                 -----------
	|          |                 |         |
	|          |	 	     |         |
	|  	   |		     |         |
	|	   |		     |	       |
	------------		     -----------

         Figure 1:xxx                Figure 2:yyy



please if you know a way to do this send me an e-mail at

rightly or wrongly, the `figure' environment does *not* set the
caption or figure number; thats done by \caption. so
 \begin{figure}
 \begin{tabular}{ll}
  piccy1 & piccy2 \\
 \caption{foo } & \caption{bar}\\
 \end{tabular}
 \end{figure}

(or the like) will do what you want, I suspect. You may have to fiddle
with \caption, it may contain a \centerline
