I have been trying to include compressed PS files using 
the EPSF macros as described in the manual "dvips:
a TeX Driver."  I have used the following command in my
figure environment

       \epsffile[llx lly urx ury]{"`zcat file.ps.Z"}

LaTeX processes the file correctly but when I try to
dvips the file it complains with

      dvips:  couldn't find figure file; continuing

The TEXINPUTS variable is set to include the correct
directory and I even recompiled dvips to make sure
it's default directories include "."  Anyone with 
ideas as to why it's not finding the file is welcomed
to respond.
