It is established that the code works for some people and does not work 
for others.  The question is:  why?  I am on regular Windows 7 64 bit, 
with up to date MikTeX -- does use of pstricks needed additional 
software such as "ghostsrcipt"?  What do the following messages from 
"xelatex lasecond.tex" mean?

** WARNING ** Image format conversion for PSTricks failed.
** WARNING ** Interpreting special command pst: (ps:) failed.

** WARNING ** Image format conversion for PSTricks failed.
** WARNING ** Interpreting special command pst: (ps:) failed.

Anyway, I personally use TikZ and plain TeX, and am only curious about 
why a pstricks example provided by an expert is hard to try out for a 
few users.
