[pstricks] Re: pstricks digest, Vol 1 #65 - 2 msgs

[juan antonio jimenez martinez]

Hi, what I do under linux is convert the dvi file to ps and then to pdf, I 
think that you know how to convert from dvi to ps, in linux there is a 
command that convert ps files to pdf, you should type in your command line 
something like this:

ps2pdf file.ps file.pdf
and the result is a pdf file more small
I hope it would be usefull
