On a related topic... I have a problem in including postscript files in a TeX
document to be printed in landscape mode -- the embedded postscript files do not
get rotated by dvi2ps so they are inserted sideways.  Here is the situation:

I'm doing some slides in LaTex and using psfig to include some figures.  I
define the page size as:
	...
	\setlength{\textwidth}{9 in}
	\setlength{\textheight}{6.5 in}
	... 

and then tell dvi2ps (or iptex) to print in landscape mode.  However, the
psfig-included postscript figures end up in the wrong orientation.  That is,
they are still oriented on the page as if for non-landscape mode.  Rotating the
figure by hand in the drawing program (I'm using IDRAW) is not a solution, since
psfig will not get the right bounding box and the figure will end up the wrong
size and in the wrong location.

Does anyone have a suggestion?
