+name pdftricks
+category Package
+shortdesc Support for pstricks in pdftex.
+longdesc The psTricks macros cannot be used with pdfTeX, since pstricks
+longdesc uses PostScript arithmetic, which isn't part of PDF. This package
+longdesc circumvents this limitation so that the extensive facilities
+longdesc offered by the powerful psTricks package can be made use of in a
+longdesc pdfTeX document. This is done using the shell escape function
+longdesc available in recent TeX implementations. [description copied from
+longdesc TeX Catalogue]
