Hello everybody!

I have got the following problem. I think I could be able to solve it if I only
had more time. But now I'm so busy that I have to ask you:

Let's suppose that I have in -let's say - boxmybox  some picture. And I would
like the text to continue around the picture on the right side. If the text
around the picture was only 1 paragraph, there's no problem - hangafter and
hangindent. But what should I do if the text consists of many paragraphs?
(Suppose that the picture is 20 cm high and 5 cm wide - it makes no sense
to let it on the page alone. So I must use something like twocolumn - but
I don't know exactly what amount of text will fit in the narrower part
of the page). The solution may be LaTeX/PlainTeX - never mind. And I don't
need to use it in twocolumn, so one column solution is also enogh.

Thank you all very much in advance.
