Getting LATEX2HTML

98.1
One way LATEX2HTMLmay be obtained is through one of the three
Comprehensive TEX Archive Network (CTAN)139
http://ctan.tug.org/ctan/ sites.
They are located at
US
- United States:
http://ctan.tug.org/ctan/,
UK
- United Kingdom:
http://www.tex.ac.uk/140
http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/support/latex2html
DE
- Germany:
ftp://ftp.dante.de/141
ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/support/latex2html.
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
97.1
The site at http://cdc-server.cdc.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/~latex2html/ is a convenient alternative for European users.
This is connected to the developer's repository,
so should always have the most recent release.
97.1
142
Alternatively, a compressed tar file of the source and related files
may be obtained via anonymous ftp to http://www-dsed.llnl.gov/files/programs/unix/latex2html/sources/.
Two other ftp-sites are:
143
144
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:145
Some ftp-sites may not carry the latest version.
146
Updates and patches are posted on the LATEX2HTML server at http://www-dsed.llnl.gov/files/programs/unix/latex2html/.

For users of Windows NT, there is a port of LATEX2HTML obtainable
from ftp://ftp.ese-metz.fr/pub/TeX/win32. Obtain the release from
this site and follow the instructions in the accompanying file
README.win32.
Thanks to 80
Fabrice Popineau for this work.
In future it is planned to merge this code with the main distribution.

97.1
Finally there is the LATEX2HTML developers' CVS repository, at http://cdc-server.cdc.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/~latex2html/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://cdc-server.cdc.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/~latex2html/l2h-latest.tar.gz.
Warning: Use the files from this site at your own risk.
97.1

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
