I haven't had any of these problems.  My postscript files come up the
right way around in ghostview and import beautifully into LaTeX with
\epsfig.   They are also in colour (which I have only just worked out how
to do in S-PLUS).

Most, if not all, of my postscript files were produced by save.plot()
rather than by postscript(). This may explain the difference, but they do
include the %%Orientation, %%Page, /ep, and so on.   Also, in earlier
versions of R I used postscript() with no problems.

What LaTeX commands and dvi converter are you using? I have used both the
NTeX (on Linux) and teTeX versions of LaTeX2e with the dvips converter,
and used the epsfig package.
