I've a similar problem with a postscript file produced by MacpaintII.
I think it was running on system7.

%!PS-Adobe-2.0

Interestingly enough, this prints out fine under ghostscript, and 
on a LPS40.  The problem is that on an LaserwriterII, the included 
postscript erases the current page, and the only output on that
page is the subsequent TeX output (i.e. text following the included
postscript file.

\begin{center}
\mbox{\epsffile[96 375 504 745]{fig1.ps}}
\end{center}

Blah, blah, blah.      % <- this prints out

I've tried *everything* to get this file to work, but the postscript
prolog seems almost to be shrouded code :-).   Anyone ever include 
MacPaintII postscript successfully???


Thanks in advance.
