Sorry, but that is malicious slander, and so asinine I'm not sure I
should lower myself to a response. pstricks has quite extensive
documentation besides the user's guide. The file pstricks.doc documents
the main source code and various other extensions have some
documentation. I don't have anything I've never released.
