Howdy,

That is why I mentioned the updated preview package too. I still  
don't know if these are stable.

I only skimmed the documentation (I know... RTFM) but how do you  
include the various extensions to pstricks (e.g., the pst-3dplot  
package)? I didn't see a simple example to show how to do that.

I haven't tried to do an update of the package list in TCOBrowser so  
I haven't run into that (yet).

I think it's gwTeX (for Gerben Weirda) to mimic teTeX (for Thomas  
Esser).

Good Luck,
