In DWB 3.1, PostScript files of any kind can be included by:
	troff stuff
	.BP file.ps height width flags
	more troff stuff
Then
	troff -mpictures -mm file | dpost | lp
If file.ps is encapsulated PostScript, the BoundingBox
comments will be honored; otherwise, file.ps is assumed
to describe an 8 1/2 x 11 page which is scaled to fit.
The flags are for things like left-justify with text on
the right, center justify with text flow around, and
right justify. Also, rotation, captions and a few other
goodies. The Picasso drawing program, included with DWB 3.1,
is particularly good at creating encapsulated PostScript;
other packages may not put in the bounding box.
