Getting LaTeX2HTML

 

One way LaTeX2HTML may be obtained is through one of the three Comprehensive TeX archive Network (CTAN) site nearest you. They are located in the United States <ftp.shsu.edu>, the United Kingdom <ftp.tex.ac.uk> and Germany <ftp.dante.de>. The latest version will appear in uncompressed format in the directory, tex-archive/support/latex2html.

A compressed tar file of the source and related files may be obtained from anonymous ftp to ftp://www-dsed.llnl.gov/files/programs/unix/latex2html/sources/latex2html-96.1.tar.gz. Two other ftp sites are ftp://ftp.mpn.com/pub/nikos/latex2html-96.1.tar.gz and ftp://ftp.rzg.mpg.de/outgoing/latex2html-96.1.tar.gz. 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).

Warning: Some FTP sites may not carry the latest version.

Updates and patches are posted on the LaTeX2HTML server at http://www-dsed.llnl.gov/files/programs/unix/latex2html

If you get the compressed tar version, save it into a file, say latex2html-96.1.tar.gz and then extract the files with

% gzip -d latex2html-96.1.tar.gz
% tar xvf latex2html-96.1.tar
