Installation on Windows

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;
• install TEX/L^ATEX2_e and dvips;
• install ;
  E.g. ActivePerl $509$ or higher from . Windows $95$ users will also need DCOM, it is listed on that download page, too.
• install Ghostscript;
  E.g. Aladdin GhostScript $5.50$.
• install the netpbm tools library from .
• unpack L^ATEX2HTML, e.g. under C:\TEXMF\LATEX2HTML;
• check that the path to GSWIN32C.EXE is added to the PATH variable in your AUTOEXEC.BAT;
• with L^ATEX2HTML $99.1$ 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 L^ATEX2HTML 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 L^ATEX before this, too!
