Would you perhaps also have the instructions how to just add PST
to standalone ConTeXt, similar to TikZ is used in standalone ConTeXt. I
want to work with clean ConTeXt without all the overhead of MikTeX or any
other Windows version of TeX. In Standalone ConTeXt I work perfectly easy
with drawings in metapost, TikZ, and graphs with Gnuplot and R. I would
like to add PST to it, but was up to now unsuccessful.
Many Thanks

I am using on Win7 x 64bit with standalone Context from http://standalone.contextgarden.net/setup/context-setup-win64.zip
in \tex\texmf-context\tex\context\base\m-pstricks.mkii line 46 looks as following: \loadpstrickscolors{colo-rgb.mkii}}
The following example does not yield anything
\usemodule[pstricks]
\starttext \startPSTRICKS \pspicture(0mm,0mm)(30mm,30mm) \psline(0,0)(3,3) \endpspicture \stopPSTRICKS \stoptext
Is there anything I am doing wrong?
Probably not, but the ConTeXt Minimals are missing support for PSTricks (there are a lot of tools missing, including many binaries). If you know how to install it, probably the easiest option to get PSTricks running on Windows would be W32TeX.
(I could actually make a rsync-able complete version of W32TeX with a relative ease. It contains the latest version of all the tools, including ConTeXt. Maybe I should do that as MikTeX no longer supports ConTeXt, TeX Live has frozen ConTeXt and binaries, ConTeXt Distribution lacks some tools, and W32TeX is actually one of the best TeX collections for Windows around; its only drawback is the lack of an installer and updater – comparable to what MikTeX offers.)
