I'm using Interleaf V to generate the postscript and am printing the
file on an Imagen 5320 Turbo printer.
When I start latex it says: This is TeX, C Version 3.14t3
Similarly dvips says:
This is dvips 5.490 Copyright 1986, 1992 Radical Eye Software
My tex file is:
\documentstyle[12pt,fullpage]{article}
\input{psfig}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
\centerline{\psfig{figure=test.ps,height=3.0truein}}
\caption{This is the caption.}
\end{figure}
\end{document}
