I am using dvi2ps (from MIT?) to convert LaTeX output to postscript.
I am running on a network of Sun 3's and 4's (and one crummy 386i)
under SunOS 4.0.1.  The manual for dvi2ps mentions support for the
TeX \special command which should allow the inclusion of encapsulated
Postscript.  I am not having any luck at all getting figures to appear
where I want (if I can get them to appear at all).

Would someone please e-mail directly to me ways to include the
following Postscript code as a figure (with a caption) within a LaTeX
document scaled arbitrarily?

---- begin postscript code ------------

I have tried things like the following with no success...

--- begin LaTeX code--------
\begin{figure}
\special{psfile=foo.ps hscale=.5 vscale=.5}
\caption{test caption}
\label{figure_x}
\end{figure}
--- end LaTeX code--------
