I went around and around on this and ended up using fig2dev,
latex, and dvipdfm:
fig2dev -L pstex figfile.fig > figfile.pstex
fig2dev -L pstex_t -p figfile.pstex figfile.fig >figfile.pstex_t
latex texfile.tex
dvipdfm -p letter texfile.dvi
(There is an issue with using pdflatex instead of latex/dvipdfm,
but I don't remember the specifics.)
In texfile.tex, I have these commands in my preable:
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{epsfig}
\usepackage{exscale}
and use this to include the figures:
\begin{center} \input{figfile.pstex_t} \end{center}
(I wrapped this up in a tex macro for easy repetitive use.)
I would *guess* that this scheme would work with dvips as well,
but haven't tested it. The folks and FAQ over in comp.text.tex
were extremely useful when I posed a similar question over there.
HTH,
Dan
