The essentials (and sufficient for PSPIC to work) are

  %!PS-Adobe-N.0  (where N could be say 3)
  %%BoundingBox: llx lly urx ury  (where llx etc are integers as above)

and these lines need not be consecutive. An alternative form is

  %!PS-Adobe-N.0
  %%BoundingBox: (at end)
  ....
  %%Trailer
  %%BoundingBox: llx lly urx ury
