Howdy,

I get no problems when using pdflatex (and therefore pdftricks, etc.).  
However, if I attempt to use latex->dvips->ps2pdf I get an error  
basically saying that there is no pdfdisplay environment. Is that  
defined by the pdftricks package and therefore not relevant when using  
latex->dvips->ps2pdf.

Good Luck,
