Subject: Including Mac (postcript) files in LaTeX

I'm trying to include Superpaint 2 documents in a LaTeX document, by
generating postscript output (using Command-K) and then using a
`\special{...}' to include it in the LaTeX document. I'm using a new(ish)
LaserWriter (prep) with System 6 on the Mac, and I'm running LaTeX on a
MicroVax. If I print the postscript file from the Vax, it prints perfectly but
when I include it in the LaTeX document and print everything, it messes up
completely. I assume that smething in the postscript prologue is interfering
with the postscript generated by dvi2ps. I have successfully managed to
include postscript screen dumps from a Xerox 1186 in LaTeX documents, so the
principle is sound.

Has anyone achieved what I am attempting to do? Can anyone tell me what to
alter to do this successfully? I am not a postscript programmer (I can just
about hack scaling and trnslation!) so simple answers would be appreciated.

Thanx in advance,
