Yes this works, but now I end up specifying a levelsep for every single 
subtree, to get my trees reasonably compact.  Isn't there a way that 
pstree takes the size of the nodes into account?  If I look at the 
fourth example on http://www.pstricks.de/pst-tree/pst-tree.phtml, it 
seems as if it does it automatically?  Or would it be better to use 
psmatrix along with pst-node for this?

Thanks, Hendrik
