Dear Experts,

In order to obtain plots in our LaTeX generated documents, we're having to
adopt POSTSCRIPT as a means for obtaining output.  We don't have a
postscript printer, but DVIALW (dvi -> ps), GHOSTSCRIPT, and the LaserJet
seem to work well together under VMS.  Several applications programs that
we use are capable of producing EPS files, however these plots are often
too large to fit into a document as a figure.  Is there a SIMPLE way modify
the postscript code so that the plot fits?  I'm afraid I know next to
nothing about the POSTSCRIPT language (and we have no manual).

Thank you for any help!
