   I had a similar problem with Mathematica 2.2.
When I exported graphics as PS, the bounding boxes
were too large --- so including the PostScript files
with EPSF in TeX documents produced pictures which
were too small.

   My solution was to use Ghostscript/Ghostview
(try Yahoo and search on PostScript --- I think it's
ftp.cs.wisc.edu) to set the BoundingBox manually.
Ghostview has an option for PS-to-EPS conversion
which does the trick.

   (I hope this is fixed in Mma 3.0.)
