Ah.  Yes, the ps file doesn't translate quite right for inclusion in
pdflatex - that's another reason I go the dvips -> pstopdf route.  I
may track that down someday but IIRC Bill's experience on endpamphlet
was that the dvips route was more robust anyway.  I think that's
probably true, particularly if we ever want to use pstricks in Axiom to
autogenerate plots for figures in pamphlets and external documents:

Delimiters should be trivial.  That was the whole point of the mess I
went through with Lisp macros - <<name>>=...@ and
\begin{chunk}{name}...\end{chunk} are different ONLY in syntax.  If I
did it right we can now generate at compile time a tangle for any
delimiter structure we want.  If necessary, we can probably implement a
function "switch-delimiter-style" to talk to systems that expect noweb
delimiters.

I'm not sure it's worth the trouble to switch the syntax anymore (sorry
Tim), since if I can successfully implement weave in Lisp the extra
processing step will become trivial (indeed, it will happen anyway
either in Lisp or in LaTeX style file processing) and to anybody else
who wants it to it will still look like a regular noweb file (plus,
less typing for delimiters...)

Cheers,
CY
