Hi..

I have read through the manuals, and tried various things with little success.
Is there a way to get LaTeX to wrap text around figures (esp. from PiCTeX).
I.e.:

(1)hblahblahblahblahblahblahblah
blahblahblahblahblahblahblahblah
(2)hblahblah |------------------|    Either starting point (1) or (2) is
blahblahblah |                  |    O.K.
blahblahblah |                  |
blahblahblah |     Figure       |
blahblahblah |                  |
blahblahblah |__________________|
blahblahblahblahblahblahblahblah

I know that a similar feat may be accomplished in TeX with \parshape. Does one
necessarily have to twiddle with LaTex's \linewidth? (LaTeX manual recommends
not doing that...)

Thanks..
