  Jaakko Ruohio <jjruohio at boojum.hut.fi> found that there is an
incompatibility between PSTricks 97 and `poster', which generate a PostScript
error. In fact, it is the problem already found with Seminar and `fancybox'
as these packages redefine the "output" LaTeX routine in a way which was not
updated for LaTeX 2e, and PSTricks PostScript header is not included by dvi to 
ps converters.

  Solution is the same than for previous cases: to add in the preambules the
line:
\special{header=pstricks.pro}

or better to update poster.tex:

%% BEGIN poster.tex/poster.sty
%%
\def\fileversion{1.0 patch 1}
\def\filedate{98/01/05}

......................................................................

\def\poster at savepage{%
% DG/SR modification begin - Jan. 5, 1998

  Thanks to Jaakko Ruohio for the report.
