colon in caption

colon in caption

[alkauffm]

Hi all,

I have the question how to put a (pure) colon into a figure or table caption.

\let\floatcaptionsuffix=:
\placefigure[fig:cow]{cow}{\externalfigure[cow]}


produces:  Figure 1.: cow

What I want is: Figure 1: cow

i.e. the colon without the additionally dot. Does somebody know a  
solution for this simple problem?

With many thanks for any hint,
Albrecht
