## Getting LATEX2`HTML`

One way LATEX2`HTML`may be obtained is through one of the three Comprehensive TEX Archive Network (CTAN) sites. They are located at

US
  United States: `http://ctan.tug.org/ctan/`,
UK
  United Kingdom: `http://www.tex.ac.uk/`
DE
  Germany: `ftp://ftp.dante.de/`.

In the directory tex-archive/support/latex2html/ should be the latest version, as a compressed archive.

There are also many mirrors. To find the nearest to you, get a listing via the command:

> `finger ctan@www.tug.org`

The site at `http://www.latex2html.org/` is a convenient alternative for European users. This is connected to the developer's repository, so should always have the most recent release.

Alternatively, a compressed `tar` file of the source and related files may be obtained via anonymous ftp to `http://www.latex2html.org/current/`.

Two other ftp-sites are:

- `http://ctan.tug.org/ctan/tex-archive/support/latex2html`
- `http://ftp.rzg.mpg.de/pub/software/latex2html/sources/`

Other ftp-sites nearer to you can be found using Archie at `http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/archie.html` or `http://www.pvv.unit.no/archie/` (faster) or more recent Web-searching tools such as FTP search in Norway.

> Warning: Some ftp-sites may not carry the latest version.

Updates and patches are posted on the LATEX2`HTML` server at `http://www.latex2html.org/current/`.

Finally there is the LATEX2`HTML` developers' CVS repository, at `http://www.latex2html.org/user/`.
The files to be found here are the most up-to-date with current developments, but they cannot be guaranteed to be fully reliable. New features may be still under development and not yet sufficiently tested for release. A daily updated compressed archive of the developers' work may be downloaded from `http://www.latex2html.org/current/`.

> Warning: Use the files from this site at your own risk.

Having obtained a compressed `tar` version, save it into a file `latex2html-98.1.tar.gz` say, then extract its contents with

    % gzip -d latex2html-98.1.tar.gz
    % tar xvf latex2html-98.1.tar
