<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="DefaultFontHxMailStyle"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">dvipdfmx works fine with pstricks. I assume so at any rate because if is recommended by the pstricks guru to use with xetex/pstricks. The reason that I mentioned it was
that some ways of going from dvi to pdf don’t work with pstricks. I also think that LaTex/hyperref provides ways to change dvipdfmx options. What I need is a way to change the options from Tex. I think it is not a debugging question, just a query to see
if anyone knows how to change the behavior of dvipdfmx from Tex. I’m sure (fairly sure) I could go into the hyperref package and transport what I need to extend eplain to get what I need. But getting into the guts of hyperref and extracting what is needed
would take more effort than I am ready to devote to the task, given that I am very far from a LaTex expert. eplain works as advertised, I believe.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi John - I'm afraid I have no real clue. dvipdfmx supports a lot of<br>
stuff wrt hyperlinks (it's the back end for xetex), but I don't know<br>
whether it supports pstricks. I also don't know whether eplain's \hlopts<br>
stuff works with it. I've just never tried it. (And Oleg wrote all of<br>
that code, so I don't have even faint memories.)<br>
<br>
Unfortunately I can't delve into what happens with \hlopts{bwidth=0} and<br>
pstricks and dvips right now, or any time soon. But in the hope of some<br>
future debugging, can you send a small example of what you want to do?<br>
<br>
Sorry,<br>
Karl<o:p></o:p></p>
