[pstricks] dashed lines stopped working?

[hh]

There is another possibility:

1. pstricks.pro was not changed with the addition of ptricks-add

2. But the psset{...} command is old (pstricks) and should work on a
normal pstricks version:
\usepackage{pstricks}

Try it on your short sample.

The dfifference: if you have more than one psset{...}, you should keep
them in brackets

{
\psset{...}
\psline(..)(..)
}

to avoid improper use (where not wanted)

That is the main effect of the new style command - it saves the brackets.
