I am doing a book in Latex and have some little bitmap figures that are about
1.5" wide -- too wide to put in the margin but narrow enough that putting them
in a regular figure looks stupid.  Getting the bitmap into the figure on my
HP clone using \special is easy enough, but getting the figure placed nicely
is hard.

What I'd like is to flow the regular text around the figure.  Does someone
have a Latex style or something that will do that?

Cheap oil is an oxymoron.
