[pstricks] Including Private Header Files Stopped Working

[Hensh, Richard]

Dear Herbert,

I believe that I have confirmed that pstricks.tex (ver 2.45 - 2013/07/09) is somehow causing the problem. The versions posted on the pstricks web site and the version distributed with MikTeX match exactly. Here are a few more details.

1. If I comment out the pst macro \pstcustomize in pstricks.con, then everything works as it did before using pstricks.tex (v2.45).

pstricks.con:
  %\pstcustomize
  \pstheader{mypstrix.pro}

So perhaps \pstcustomize has somehow been modified in a recent version of pstrick.tex. To confirm this I tried 
the following.

2. If I replace pstricks.tex (ver 2.45 - 2013/07/09) with version 2.43 (2013/05/12) then the following works as it did before.

pstricks.con:
  \pstcustomize
  \pstheader{mypstrix.pro}


Any ideas?

thanks
rick

Rich,
I suppose it is a MiKTeX issue. I cannot test it because
I am a Linux user.

Maybe others can help.
