dvi2ps does not support the advertised "rotatation" \special.  Instead,
users who wish to rotate their output should include 
pstext="90 rotate" in their \special command.  I guess the man page
should reflect this.

I needed to do this when printing in landscape mode; shouldn't dvi2ps
take care of this anyway?  If I print this document without the 
-o landscape option, the graphic appears right-side-up.  If I include
the option, the document looks as expected except that the graphic is
now rotated 90 degrees clockwise.
