Hi Andrew: I am glad you were able to fix the multiple-stream issue for this driver. For completeness, I have also added it to the install-tree tests where it now passes the same test that is done by ctest in the build tree. I am sure the -dev pstex users out there are grateful that we are still maintaining this device driver, but at the same time I think it is still probably a good decision to leave this device driver disabled by default so that non-legacy users will be encouraged to use the other better PostScript alternatives.
