[XeTeX] Updating XeTeX (plain) for PS Tricks

[John Was]

Hmm  I'll give it a try but I do get auxiliary files when I run .TEX files 
that I have told to generate them and keep them there (e.g. with 
\immediatewrite).  As I'm a stand-alone user I have Windows permissions 
universally set within the confines of the computers on my network (not, of 
course, for Internet sites that may try to access my files).

Best

In another thread you said <http://tug.org/pipermail/xetex/2007-

I wonder whether your particular setup (i.e. generating output files
in the same directory as the xetex binaries, instead of the same
directory as your input file) isn't causing a permission problem:
some auxiliary files which should be created in the output directory
as part of the operation of pstricks and xdvipdfmx can't, because the
program willing to write to that directory hasn't the permission to
do so.
