The version of dvips that I installed came with psfig macros that were
modified to work with dvips.  There was a directory psfig-tex which
contained the stuff for psfig.  Here is the top portion of the 
README file

psfig/tex 1.4 -- TeX macros for the inclusion of postscript figures

=====

Psfig/tex uses \special calls to manipulate the PostScript environment
within a document and include figure files. Version 1.4 of psfig/tex
works with the "dvips" PostScript driver, which is available from
labrea.stanford.edu.

Additionally, it might work with the driver also called "dvips"
sold by ArborText, and with the version of "dvi2ps" written by
Tony Li <tli@sargas.usc.edy> (use old/psfig-li.tex).
