Follow-up to RE: [fptex] pdftricks

[Michael Hallgren]

The following hack (which is mentioned in Graphics Companion) makes
things work (in a quite cumbersome way), example:

\begin{pspicture}(0,0)(10,10)
{\color{white}\setlength{\fboxsep}{0pt}%
\framebox{%

\psshadowbox[fillstyle=solid,fillcolor=green,linecolor=yellow]{\color{red}te
xt}
 }%
}

I am also trying out a new package (thanks Rolf) called ps4pdf.

Cheers,

mh
