I would like to write a macro in TeX (or LaTeX) for including an illustration
in a body of text.  The bitmap for the illustration would be included with a
\special command, and I would know the height and width of the bitmap.  The 
question then is how does one leave a proper sized "notch" in the right or left
side of the text and then direct TeX to situate the illustration so that it 
fits in the notch?  The text would fill the space to the left (or right) of the
illustration.  How does one do this?  How does one create a notch of the cor- 
rect height (in inches say) in the text?
Thanks,
Tom Sherlock.
