Ah, I should have told you about the shell-escape function
too. By default shell-escape is suppressed. To invoke it you need to
use the switch:

 pdflatex -shell-escape <file>
 latex -shell-escape <file>

If you want this always, you can edit your texmf.conf to change 
shell-escape=f to shell-escape=t. Recreate all the formats you usually
use. Once you have done this, you can invoke shell escape whenever you
run the TeX/pdfTeX compiler.

Yes.

You're right.
