[pstricks] PS into PDF

[Martin Sievers]

Hallo,
first of all, it's good that the arguments for not using pdflatex for 
PDF when using pstricks are getting fewer.
I tried the package yesterday, but had to experience, that there are a 
lot of errors when compiling the ppf-example.tex-File. It seems that all 
the commands \usepspicture and \savepspicture have to be replaced by the 
- I guess recently changed - \usepicture and \savepicture. But even 
then, the files platypus.eps and leslie.eps are missing. If I comment 
them out, there is no error left when applying ps4pdf, but the 
pdf-output only contains the section-title. I had a closer look and 
discovered, that the -dAutoRotatePages Option causes Ghostscript (MikTex 
8.15) to crash. So I dropped that option and got a wonderful Pdf-Output :-)
Maybe you can just correct your example and check if it's running 
correctly on your system.

Thanks
greetings

Martin
