   I would like to use the Psfig program for inserting figures in my LaTeX
   document.  Will this work with the dvialw program?

No, it won't.  Well, it probably won't.

   Must I use dvi2ps for this?

You should use version 3.1 of dvi2ps which was put together by Kevin
Coombes, <kevin@math.lsa.umich.edu>.  Apparently there are many different
versions of dvi2ps floating around the network, each the product of a
different branch of development -- what works with one dvi2ps might not work
with another.  Mr. Coombes has combined the best of many different versions.
We have used his dvi2ps in combination with Psfig/TeX to produce documents
containing a combination of USENIX FaceSaver images, MacDraw drawings, and
drawings composed from short Postscript routines.

I didn't install dvi2ps here, so I don't know where it was ftp'ed from; I
suggest you contact the author at the above e-mail address.  If I find out
more, I'll post a followup.
