Herbert et al,

OK, looking at your suggested code change.

% !TEX TS-program = latex
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pstricks-add}

\begin{document}

\psset{unit=0.25}
\begin{pspicture}(-11,-11)(11,11)
\psgrid[gridlabels=0pt,gridcolor=lightgray,subgriddiv=1](-10,-10)(10,10)
\psaxes[arrowscale=1.5,arrows=<->,
   Dx=10,Dy=10](0,0)(-11,-11)(11,11)[$x$,0][$y$,90]
\psdots*[linecolor=red,dotsize=2pt 2](-6,1)(6,5)
\psplot[linecolor=blue,algebraic,
         arrows=<->,arrowscale=1.5]{-10}{10}{1/3*x+3}
\uput[135](-6,1){$(-6,1)$}
\uput[135](6,5){$(6,5)$}
\end{pspicture}

\end{document}

However, it does use pstricks-add and you did remind us:

"I am sorry, but as I always said and wrote in the preamble of the
documentation, using pstricks-add is "leaving on the edge". It
contains mostly experimental code which may later move back into
the corresponding packages."

So, if we were to go back into our system, and make changes following the above coding, would we be protected in the future from having to do this again. After all, the above change does use pstricks-add again.

David.
