Hi...

Anyone knows how to make pst-usr.tex typeset under LaTeX2e (i.e.,
teTeX)? I downloaded the entire .../graphics/pstricks directory from
CTAN, so it shouldn't be a matter of missing files; here's what
happening:

  cd $CTAN/graphics/pstricks/
  latex pst-user.tex

  This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (C version 6.1)
  (pst-user.tex
  LaTeX2e <1996/12/01> patch level 1
  Babel <v3.6h> and hyphenation patterns for american, german, loaded.
  (/usr/lib/texmf/texmf/tex/latex/base/latex209.def
  Entering LaTeX 2.09 compatibility mode.
  (/usr/lib/texmf/texmf/tex/latex/base/tracefnt.sty)
  (/usr/lib/texmf/texmf/tex/latex/base/latexsym.sty)
  (/usr/lib/texmf/texmf/tex/latex/config/latex209.cfg
  (/usr/lib/texmf/texmf/tex/latex/tools/rawfonts.sty
  (/usr/lib/texmf/texmf/tex/latex/tools/somedefs.sty)
  (/usr/lib/texmf/texmf/tex/latex/base/ulasy.fd)))) (pst-user.sty (tvz-user.sty
  (tvz-hax.sty (/usr/lib/texmf/texmf/tex/latex/base/article.sty

  l.93   {bx}{sl}{ptmbi}}
                              %
  ?

I'm trying to read the documentation for the LaTeX2e sources
(source2e.dvi, obtained from source2e.tex) to discover what's
happening and what should happen instead, but it's not easy... does
anyone know some simple fix to this?

  Thanks in advance,
                    Edrx
