Did you really succeed? I and some colleagues were spending a whole
week
for trying this. Win-PS files generate a blank page immediately after
showpage. So the dvips-output generates blank figures. I have not
found the command which causes this behaviour. The other problem
occured during playing with the bounding box. This gave rise to PS
errors only *after* including them by \epsfig{}. So I can only
encourage to avoid M$.
