Dear Sirs
Tanks a lot for the context software. I use it so much. I'm a
physics/chemistry teacher and for making personalized exams with random
numbers/questions the math.random() from lua is great. For draw schematic
diagrams/graphs with random arguments I use tikz inside luacode, like
context("\\addplot[blue, ultra thick] {"..slope.."*x-"..workfunction.."};").
However, it would be useful to use some pstricks packages. For example, the
package pst-spectra includes a set of spectrum of various chemical
elements. It is unique. Currently, I run latex and then import the pdf
file into context file. There are other old pstricks macros, but still very
useful, that i like to use. It's old, but useful. In the pstricks home page
(http://tug.org/PSTricks/main.cgi/) I can found some new work, with some
new packages and macros.
For now, if i try to run this simple code
\usemodule[pstric]
\starttext
\startPSTRICKS
\pspicture(0,0)(20,20)
\psline(0,0)(20,20)
\psline(1,1)(10,10)
\endpspicture
\stopPSTRICKS
\stoptext
I found this error message:

Thanks a lot for your support and for Context.
