In DWB 3.1, PostScript files of any kind can be included by: troff stuff .BP file.ps height width flags more troff stuff Then troff -mpictures -mm file | dpost | lp If file.ps is encapsulated PostScript, the BoundingBox comments will be honored; otherwise, file.ps is assumed to describe an 8 1/2 x 11 page which is scaled to fit. The flags are for things like left-justify with text on the right, center justify with text flow around, and right justify. Also, rotation, captions and a few other goodies. The Picasso drawing program, included with DWB 3.1, is particularly good at creating encapsulated PostScript; other packages may not put in the bounding box.
