Hi,
\multips is defined within pstricks.sty. There is no package, although there
may have been at one time. I use pstricks on a regular basis. It is my
favorite drawing program after trying xy-pic and metapost, both of which are
fine programs. I've found that I could get the kinds of drawing I want with
less work (at least for me) but of the same quality.
I have used pdftricks, but just a little. Most of my code is still in
pstricks and must be compiled using TeX and Ghostscript. I will probably
begin using pdftricks on a regular basis after I finish with a current
project that I began writing with pstricks to take advantage of the fine
microtype features of pdftex.
