<DIV><FONT face="Arial Unicode MS">I'm using Windows XP so with luck the work
will have been done for me, though I don't really want it to overwrite my
TeXLive distribution completely as I've made a few other alterations to
files. (In general it's a great relief to have the out-of-the-box TeXLive
distribution, but of course one then (especially a
non-programming end-user like myself) gets completely out of touch with the
finer points of tweaking, which I haven't really done since I got an EmTeX
distribution about 15 years ago in the form of a dozen or so floppies with a
typed list of instructions.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Arial Unicode MS">On looking properly at what I had done to
get PSTricks to work with XeTeX, I realized that I had only made the change
specified in the PSTricks support page - viz. replacing the TeXLive
version of the file pstricks.con with a special version for the <FONT

<DIV><FONT face="Arial Unicode MS"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial Unicode MS">So I think I now have to upgrade the
driver itself but I can't immediately see where to do this - basically all I
need to know is what files to download and where to put them in the TeXLive
installation.</FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE><BR></DIV>Which platform are you using?
For Windows, I think the prerelease "xetex-dev" version available from Akira's
W32TeX page would include an updated driver, so it should work. <<A

<DIV>For other platforms, I don't know of binary packages at the moment, so
you'd need to build xdvipdfmx from source; see the "XeTeX for Linux" page for
pointers, but note that you may have to do quite a bit of configure-time
tweaking to point it at all the necessary libraries. If you're not used to
running configure, setting CFLAGS and LDFLAGS, etc., it may be a bit of a
rough experience....</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>If you get the updated driver and pstricks.con installed, I'd expect it
to work with either plain or latex-based formats. The pstricks support is all
at the \special level in the driver. So it should be independent of the
overall macro package.</DIV>
