Installation on Windows

For Windows 95, 98, and NT you will either need a newer html Release 99.1 or higher, or if you like to try an older release get the Windows 97.1 port by Fabrice Popineau from `ftp://ftp.ese-metz.fr/pub/TeX/win32` or the 98.2 DOS version `l2h98_2dos.tar.gz` by Daniel Taupin from `http://www.latex2html.org/`. Meanwhile, all the operating system dependent issues are integrated into the main release, thanks to the cool work of Marek Rouchal.

To install the tools required to run the translator, perform the steps below. Thanks to Jens Berger (`jberger@mail.zedat.fu-berlin.de`) for providing this list!

- install `WinZip` from `http://www.winzip.com/getsite.cgi?winzip70.exe`;
- install TEX/LATEX2e and `dvips`;
  E.g. the `MikTeX` 1.20 distribution from `http://www.miktex.de`.
- install `Perl`;
  E.g. `ActivePerl` 509 or higher from `http://www.activestate.com`. Windows 95 users will also need `DCOM`, it is listed on that download page, too.
- install `GhostScript`;
  E.g. `Aladdin GhostScript` 5.50 from `http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/aladdin`.
- install the `NetPBM` tools library from `ftp://ftp.ese-metz.fr/pub/TeX/win32/`.
- unpack LATEX2`HTML`, e.g. under `C:\TEXMF\LATEX2HTML`;
- check that the path to `GSWIN32C.EXE` is added to the `PATH` variable in your `AUTOEXEC.BAT`;
- with LATEX2`HTML` 99.1 or higher, edit `l2hconf.pin`, then run `CONFIG.BAT` to install the translator;
  with older releases, edit `LATEX2HTML.CONFIG` and run

        cd c:\texmf\latex2html
        perl install-test

  from within a DOS box.
- you might want to write a small `.BAT` file in your LATEX2`HTML` directory:

        perl c:\texmf\latex2html\latex2html %1 %2 %3 >> l2h.log

  `%1` is the name of the `.TEX` file, `%2` and `%3` are optional arguments to the translator such as `-"-split 3"` .
  Note that if you want more than two arguments you will need to supply more parameters to the `.BAT` file.
- run it with a test document `test.tex`:

         l2h test

  Maybe you will need to run LATEX before this, too!
