I've just put together dvips version 0.92 and psfig.tex version 1.2; the
combination works and I can use it to produce documents using the *.ps
files in tex82/TeXgraphics/psfig/doc/figs.  

The problem is that my production of real-work graphics is limited to
using GEM Draw. :-( I can coerce GEM into producing a file of PS commands
complete with a %%BoundingBox line; but they don't work when I include
them in a document with psfig.  Neither psfig nor dvips complained about
anything---but the printer flushed the job!

I've done some of the obvious things: removing the ^D of course;
extracting the GEM-produced prolog into another file and loading it with
the -h option of dvips.  This gets me to the point where the printer
doesn't flush the job, but the included figure doesn't show and also the
page is blank above the spot where the figure should be.  

I'm hoping some reader in this group has already hit this problem and
has a canned-up solution?  (Other than buying a Mac---that's not in the
budget this year!)
