Put the text you want upside-down into an extra tex file and run the dvi file through dvimsp, with rotation/reflection turned on. Then, you can insert the file created by dvimsp into your main document by using \special{em:graph ...}. This `print once' technique also works with the screen previewer. -- Eberhard Mattes (mattes@azu.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de)
