I just checked our new (TranScript 2.1) psdit.c.  It claims to be 
Revision 2.2 87/11/17, with Revision 2.1.1.8 87/07/08 and Revision 2.1.1.9
87/11/12.  There is no mention of psfig, and a revision on 87/10/13 should
have appeared between 2.1.1.8 and 2.1.1.9.  

We would find both psfig support and landscape mode useful (and while we're
at it, a legal-size paper option, although I've already hacked that in).

I think it's time for a word from Adobe (are you there, Glenn Reid?).
