MetaPost file---bounding box wrong

+AMDG

Hey, all. I've been playing with MetaPost for a logo, with some text
(in ygoth) and some shading. It won't come out right just by
metaposting it, but it's working when I prepare a LaTeX file consisting
solely of the graphic and then dvips it (as Peter Wilson describes in
metafp.pdf). The resulting MetaPost file looks perfectly fine. The
text is quoted, not btexed, as that was the only way I was able to
successfully make the ygoth text appear the way and in the place it
should. It also converts to pdf well.

However, Ghostview tells me that converting to eps won't work, and
trying it confirmed this. While the graphic still looks fine, the
bounding box is wrong; it takes up the entire page. I'm therefore
unable to include it in files unless I devote an entire page to it;
since it's a logo and I only want to put it in a letterhead, that
obviously isn't satisfactory.

So how can I include the ps in a LaTeX document without giving a 1/2
wide graphic an entire page? Thanks.

Don
