floats are not possible in multicol environment, only widefloats.
the attached example-files show, how you can insert figures
with captions
\myFigure{1.0}{Pisa.eps}{Der schiefe Turm von PISA}
the first option (1.0) is a factor of picturewidth in relation
to columnwidth. 0.5 makes the image half as columnwidth.
the second is the path and name for the image.
the third option is the caption.
this are not real floats, so you have to pay attention for right
placing, which is in two-column mode not very difficult.
