[XeTeX] Typesetting a mind map

[John Was]

I see that PSTricks was used in the LaTeX version of XeTeX that created the 
TeX source for the mindmap sample.  I am planning to stick with plain XeTeX 
if possible, but would like to use PSTricks and found that it didn't work 
the last time I tried - at least not with the standard \input pstricks on 
the TeXLive installation.  (The only thing that did work was moving bits of 
text around with \rput - and that part of the package works even with Y&Y's 
old DVIWindo viewer, which doesn't otherwise support PSTricks.)  So:  does 
anyone know a straightforward way of using the PSTricks package in plain 
XeTeX?  I'd be so grateful not to have to learn another drawing package from 
scratch!

Best


John
