For DWB 3.3 we have put all macros related to PostScript
devices into one package, mps. This includes PostScript
picture inclusion, color and page rotation. The macro
	.pM
puts you in portrait mode (default),
	.lM
puts you in landscape. Page headers and footers and page
lengths and widths are adjusted accordingly. Forces new
page, of course.
The most typical application we have seen is:
  ...
  .lM
  .TS
   wide table
  .TE
  .pM
