+This directory contains the special PSTricks config files for
+the different platforms. By default the dvips config file is
+already in your current TeX distribution as pstricks.con.
+If you use another platform then you have to replace the current
+pstricks.con by one of the following cfg files:
+
+- PostScript header files
+
+-- If you use the Y&Y's "dvipsone" DVI to PostScript converter,
+you have to rename config.cfg to generic/pstricks.con and to move
+all the files of the "dvips" subdirectory to the TeX input folder.
+
+-- If you use the MicroPress "VTeX" DVI to PostScript converter,
+you have to rename config/vtex.cfg to generic/pstricks.con and to move
+all the files of the "dvips" subdirectory to the TeX input folder.
+
+-- If you use XeTeX, you have to rename config/xdvipdfmx.cfg to
+ generic/pstricks.con
+
+-- If you use the "textures" (version 1.7/1.8 or 2.0) DVI to PostScript
+ converter (for Macintosh), you should proceed as follows:
+ * create a new folder PSTricks (for instance) as a subfolder in
+ Textures' TeX inputs folder,
+ * copy the "generic", "dvips", "latex" and "contrib" subfolders
+ from the "pstricks" folder to the newly created "PSTricks" folder,
+ * open the "generic" folder and remove the file pstricks.con,
+ then rename the file textures.cfg to pstricks.con,
+ * open the "dvips" folder and change the following line in the file
+ pstricks.pro (courtesy Michael J. Sharpe <msharpe@euclid.ucsd.edu>):
+ /STV { SDict begin normalscale end STP } def
+ by
+ /STV { Mag 72.27 72 div mul dup neg scale STP } def
+ It was also reported that the `pst-text' package (to put text
+ along paths) doesn't work with the "textures" driver.
+ Textures's users must also look at the page kindly maintained
+ by Michael Sharpe: http://math.ucsd.edu/~msharpe/pst-textures.html
+
+-- If you use another driver than these four ones, you have to adapt
+a pstricks.con file for it, if the one for "dvips" doesn't work for it.
+You can also look at the instructions of the old obsolete/src/pstricks.con
+file. And if nothing work, ask for help on the PSTricks mailing list,
+hopping that somebody on the list has the same configuration than you ...
