Re: Problem with PSTricks using MikTex 2.9

Ulrike,
Thanks for the reply and suggestion.
The message came from Yap.
I was originally trying to compile to dvi, just to make the process 
work.  After changing the Yap rendering method to Dvips as you 
suggested, I finally succeeded in getting a dvi file.
However, I still need to obtain a pdf file, and nothing I have tried has 
worked in WinEdt/MikTex (e.g. pdflatex or dvi2pdf).
Any suggestions are welcome.
Bruce
