Thank you very much Luciano. It has worked for me with your ipsum file
but only after I added to the folder a bunch of .pro files, which it
said it couldn't find. But my file compiles w/out pstricks, with some
lines of text over others. I am told about missing fonts but suspect
they are not the main cause of the problem.
