Yesterday I asked about landscape support in dvi-to-postscript filters.
I have been absolutely overwhelmed with responses - thank you very much!

The answer is that my version of dvips is hideously out of date. The latest
version is 5.33, available through anonymous ftp from labrea.stanford.edu.
It not only supports landscape, but also legal and a few other paper sizes,
as well as embedded PS figures, etc. etc. I have installed this and it seems
to be working fine even though we are still at TeX 2.0.
