Hello, I'm using LaTeX 2.09 on the SGI Iris, and am having some
difficulties with the \psfig and \special environments.  When I
attempt to use \psfig dvi2ps reports a set of errors, most saying that
it can't find any special files, or unknown options in the \special
environment.  When I change to \special it prints the figure, but it
doesn't print any text (does eject a blank page), and won't scale the
figure.  Am I correct in assuming that my dvi2ps program is at fault,
or is it something in LaTeX?
					Thanks.
