I've dvi2ps (JBW's version) and Trevor's psfig (came with JBW's dvi2ps
distribution) on my Sun-4/OS 4.0.1 box and I wanted to include some MacDraw
(version 1.9.5) into my latex output.

Here are the checksums of mac.pro, tex.ps and psfig.tex on my Sun-4/OS4.0.1 :-
==========================================
word-eho(78)-{7:49pm}[/people/eho/tmp]: sum /usr/local/lib/TeX/dvi2ps/{mac.pro,tex.ps}
37876    26 /usr/local/lib/TeX/dvi2ps/mac.pro
64946    18 /usr/local/lib/TeX/dvi2ps/tex.ps
word-eho(79)-{7:55pm}[/people/eho/tmp]: sum /usr/local/lib/TeX/inputs/psfig.tex
60003     9
==========================================

Here is my latex file :-
==========================================
\documentstyle{article}
\begin{document}
\vspace*{0.5 in}
\special{psfile=/people/eho/tmp/new.ps}
\end{document}
==========================================

I can latex the file out without a hitch.  However, when I tried dvi2ps it out
(with or without the -M flag), the job got flushed because of some typecheck
errors on mul (so no output obviously).  I'm suspecting that my mac.pro or
tex.ps files are not quite up to par.  Can anyone enlighten me on this ?

I've also tried using 

	\input{psfig} 
	\psfig{/people/eho/tmp/new.ps}

instead of \special{psfile=...} and got no luck at all.
