figflow – Flow text around a figure

Provides a Plain TeX macro \figflow that allows one to insert a figure into an area inset into a paragraph. Command arguments are width and height of the figure, and the figure (and its caption) itself. Usage details are to be found in the TeX file itself.

The package does not work with LaTeX; packages such as wrapfig, floatflt and picins support the needs of LaTeX users in this area.
