OK - it is really quite simple to get the graphics right in TeX.  As had been
said, the first thing one has to do is to move the BoundingBox command to 
the top of the postscript file. Then one can eather use the epsf style 
option, and include the graphic by \epsffile{foo.ps}, or one can use the 
\special commands as for example \special{psfile=foo.ps hscale=50 vscale= ....}. The first option has the advantage that tex automatically makes the box
for the graphic, magnifications can be specified with \epsfxsize and 
\epsfysize. The second option provides more flexibility, as one can also rotate
the graphic (angle=...) etc. All this is very nicely described in the NexTTeX
manual that came as an .dvi file with NeXTTeX.  Have fun.
