That will avoid the user from zooming in and out to switch between the global vision (constellation view) to a zoomed view (object view). I am always switching between this two views.

If you install MiKTEXT (I ran it on Windows) PStricks is installed but pst-text is not but will install on the fly when you will run pp3, if you have a responding repository on your net connection. There is 2 or 3 needed packages but I don't remember them. Hope this help.
Fabien.
