[XeTeX] XeLaTex and xdvipdfmx

[Paulo Rodrigues]

The problem of PATHS it was solved with update of TeXLive.

For use pstricks with xelatex I replace the file pstricks.con for  
xdvipdfmx.com renamed.

But a problem stil happening: when I compile with TexShop+xdvipdfm   
appear the message "Output file removed" and I can`t access the PDF.

Thank you all.

Paulo
