Will this work with the dvialw program? No, it won't. Well, it probably won't. Must I use dvi2ps for this? You should use version 3.1 of dvi2ps which was put together by Kevin Coombes, . Apparently there are many different versions of dvi2ps floating around the network, each the product of a different branch of development -- what works with one dvi2ps might not work with another. Mr. Coombes has combined the best of many different versions. We have used his dvi2ps in combination with Psfig/TeX to produce documents containing a combination of USENIX FaceSaver images, MacDraw drawings, and drawings composed from short Postscript routines. I didn't install dvi2ps here, so I don't know where it was ftp'ed from; I suggest you contact the author at the above e-mail address. If I find out more, I'll post a followup.
