<div>Now with the new package pst-pdf it is possible to run pdflatex also in files with pstricks code. You must preprocess files using pst-pdf that automatically extracts pstricks (and other postscript) code from the Latex source and then reinserts it during pdflatex compilation. Details also in the pstricks site.</div> <div>It's preferable to use this way, instead of making separate files with psticks pictures.</div> <div>I have written a small guide for my students (at High School), but it is in italian!</div> <div>Luciano Battaia</div> <div> </div> <div><BR><BR><B><I>"Andrzej J.
