Good point.
It is only a 1-liner to fix it.
Within the code to latex2html there is already a test for LaTeX2.09,
looking something like the following:
if ($preamble =~ ( ...... \\documentstyle/) {
within that set of braces { .... } add a line:
$preamble .= "\n\\let\\providecommand\\newcommand\n";
This will be in the next beta revision.
Thanks for the tip.
Of course a better solution is to use LaTeX-2e; ;-)
Cheers,
