I am trying to include postscript figures with the epsfbox macro for 
printing with dvips (version 5.41, but 5.47 does the same).  The
annoying thing is that dvips rotates figures at its own gusto.

I have a bunch of identical ps files (except a few data points) which
have a BoundingBox properly defined.  On some pages the figures are
printed in the correct orientation and everything looks fine, on others
they are rotated by 90 degrees.  I can't see any pattern when that
happens.  To make it more interesting, some figures are actually in
landscape mode, others are in portrait.  But the problem occurs for
both sorts of figures and I first have all the landscape stuff and
later the protrait.  As I understand it, there is no rotation option
with the epsf macros.  But obviously, something must rotate the figures.

Any ideas?
