[comp.lang.postscript] Help- SolarPaint/SunDraw/EPS/PS/dvips

I DESPERATELY need help including solarpaint drawings in a LaTeX document.
I converted the Sun raster files to ps using 
	rastoppm fig.ras | ppmscale | ppmtops > fig.ps
in my document I have

\begin{figure}[p]
\makebox[4.236in][l]{
  \vbox to 3.000in{ 
	\vfill \special{psfile=cr.ps hscale=0.56}  }
  \vspace{-\baselineskip} 
  }
\caption{\rm Comparison of chromium recovery by sampler versus direct removal tests.\label{CRPS}}
\end{figure}

I get NO output. (Radical Eye's dvips)
Any ideas? (BTW I am not sure the rastoppm|ppmtops is working).

I ALSO sucked the raster file into SunDraw and then saved it as an
EPSF. then used

\input epsf
\begin{figure}[p]
{
    \epsffile{older.eps}
  
  \vspace{-\baselineskip}
}
\caption{Diagram of the simulated well environment with labeled parts.
 \label{WELL}}
\end{figure}

...and again nothing prints!

The SunDraw EPS output option makes a file which I believe is supposed
to be a raster image of some flavor but for PS. I grep'd the following
from the eps file it made (grep raster older.eps)

    /image_raster { %% sw sh dw dh xs ys
% raster2
1151 899 1 1 0 0 image_raster

dvips 4.0 (Radical Eye Software)  	   Apple Laserwriter 

thanks.
