Chuck -

Your basic approach is correct, but you may just have a fuzzy version of
dvi2ps.  You should check the PS output to see if your included PS is
surrounded by the commands:

	@setspecial
	@beginspecial
	 .
	 .   your PS file
	 .
	@endspecial

If not, you have a version of dvi2ps amended for use with psfig.  I
amended ours so that dropping these commands optional, both at runtime and
in the \special command, and so it can still be used with psfig if
desired.

	eg.
		host% dvi2ps -g file | lpr  (for use with psfig)
		host% dvi2ps file | lpr     (without)

		\special{global pstext=".5 .9 scale"}

(Yes, this can give you CM fonts scaled by different amounts in the
vertical and horizontal. Ugly, but fun ...)

If other people are interested in this version, let me know. I'll be
releasing a load more stuff to the net soon as my current job comes to an
end (ultrafast `help' system, lotsa emacs stuff, latex styles ...).
