  Ivan Maio <maio at pol88a.polito.it> report recently that the dotscale
parameter is inefficient with the \psdot and \psdots macros. Problem
was already in pst-beta.tex from 0.93 distribution. \psdots was completely
rewritten at this time (and \psdot added).

  Here is my proposed correction. Sebastian will update the CTAN distribution
when he will found time for that. VERSIONS and CHANGES files will be updated
accordingly.

  In pstricks.tex:

\def\fileversion{93a/b-97 patch 3}
\def\filedate{1997/07/11}
......................................................................
\def\newpsfontdot#1[#2]#3#4{%
\@namedef{psds@#1}{%
/#3 \psk@@dotangle [#2] \tx at FontDot
% DG/SR modification begin - July 9, 1997
%/Dot { moveto #4 show } bind def }}
/Dot { moveto #4 \psk at dotscale show } bind def }}
% DG/SR modification end
\def\newpsfontdotH#1[#2]#3#4#5{%
\@namedef{psds@#1}{%
/#3 \psk@@dotangle [#2] \tx at FontDot
/Dot {
moveto
\iftrue
gsave \pst at usecolor\psfillcolor #5 show grestore
\fi
% DG/SR modification begin - July 9, 1997
%#4 show
#4 \psk at dotscale show
% DG/SR modification end
} bind def }}


  P.S. * Steffen Klupsch <steffen at vlsi.informatik.th-darmstadt.de> see that
the demonstration file origdoc/tp-test.tex doesn't work today (what is to say
with LaTeX 2e). He kindly give a LaTeX 2e version. It will be install also on
CTAN soon.

       * I also add on http://www.tug.org/applications/PSTricks/Various
two examples given by Thomas Siegel <siegel at aix550.informatik.uni-leipzig.de>.
One is a little modified version of the PSTricks logo he send here some weeks
ago and the other a mixed usage of `shapepar' and PSTricks packages.
Thanks to him.
