I realized that in the first one or two *.tar files are files like t-rom.tfm
are missing (which may have happened when the disk was full while I was making
a *.tar.Z file).

This problem is fixed, I submitted a newer version of dvi2ps.tar.Z and
TeXGuide.tar.Z to june.cs.washington.edu in ~/tmp. If they are not there, then
already moved into ~/tex anonymous under the name w_dvi2ps.tar.Z and
TeXGuide.tar.Z. Both of them carry fixings and updates, so I recommend you
use them to replace the older ones.

psfig/TeX only needs psfig.tex macro under ~/psfig, and nothing else are
needed. If you get the error message while TeXing or LaTeXing, most
probably your PostScript file has no BoundingBox. bbfig in the release is
for fixing this problem. However, I suggest you use \special{psfile=filename}
in this case, because there is no guarrantee that your PostScript file will
be in perfect shape after you put in the BoundingBox.
