[pstricks] Non breakable space (~) with PSTricks

[Jorge Ramos]

Strangely, I couldn't reproduce anymore the previous behaviour but
found another and more important bugsy: I am using the latest packages
from Miktex 2.9 and Texniccenter 1.0 stable release. Try this:


%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\documentclass{amsbook}%

\usepackage{amsmath}%
\usepackage{amsfonts}%
\usepackage{amssymb}%
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{bm}
\usepackage[spanish]{babel}
\usepackage{verbatim}
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{pstricks}

\begin{document}
\frontmatter
\title{Prueba}

\mainmatter

\part{The First Part}

\chapter{About the AMS Book or Monograph Class}
heloooo
\twocolumn

hihihi
\end{document}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

It gives me 0 errors, 0 warnings, 0 bad boxes... But when the package
pstricks is enabled in the preamble I can't, for some obscure reason
preview the changes made in the document. e.g. Try placing some text
without the package and it previews perfectly in Yap, but when the
package is enabled, it no longer makes changes to the output file
(Yap, I haven't tried with PDF)

thanks,

jorge.
