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 page 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?

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--------
