<br><p>Hi Will,<br></p><p>I'll try it later today and will keep you updated. A (probably) stupid question: is it possible that this problem is due to incompatible/outdated versions of the packages? IIRC, I used the latest ifplatform and auto-pst-pdf that I found on CTAN. </p>

Does this help narrowing down the problem?<br>

It helps confuse me further :(<br>
This is the code in ifplatform that checks to see if shell-escape is activated:<br>
<br>
\immediate\write18{echo \ip@win >"\ip@file"}<br>
\IfFileExists{\ip@file}{\shellescapetrue}{\shellescapefalse\endinput}<br>
<br>
If you write something similar, like this:<br>
<br>
\documentclass{article}<br>
\begin{document}<br>
\immediate\write18{ echo 'hello' > "temp.txt" }<br>
\IfFileExists{temp.txt}{Shell escape ON}{Shell escape OFF}<br>
\end{document}<br>
<br>
does that work, or not? (Still with the -shell-escape option in use, of course.) If it does work, then \shellescape should always be true and your problem shouldn't be occurring; if it doesn't work, then why not?!<br>
<br>
Sorry this is taking so long :(<br><font color="#888888">
