As an examplar of this, wasn't there a recent post of = a technique to
use a drawing program (xfig?) to draw shapes which = could then be
processed to create the tex code for a = \parshape

Hmm, doing a Google(TM) search for this yields a = reference for
`fig2sty' (said to be buggy)

but nothing else---could've sworn it was in relation = to using TeX to
typeset a CD (the label itself, not a jewelcase = insert or booklet),
but I'm not finding it....

I can't imagine there would be---I was thinking = about
footnotes---obviously I'm not thinking clearly = today.

Sorry.

Will go back to lurking and learning.
