I am using the Transcript version of psroff and psdit to include
postscript images in my ditroff papers.  I have some images that
are too wide for the page, but could be printed in landscape mode.
When I do this, I also need the figure title to rotate and print
in landscape mode.  Is there some way to do this with Troff and
postscript?  I can rotate the images (bitmaps) prior to processing
by ditroff/psroff/psdit, but how can I get the figure title in
rotated?

Is this any easier to do with TeX?  Maybe this will get me to switch.
