I've been having some problems with the new updated l2h, which were similar to other problems that have been reported here. That is, I had problems with "Illegal seek", black borders at left and bottom of math images, and some nasty lingering problems with rotated images.
I managed to fix a lot of the problems by upgrading to the very latest latex2html (2002-2), giftrans (1.12.2-11), and netpbm (10.8). But the problems with the rotated images were still there. It took me a while to figure out that the problems were only with rotated images, and if I didn't rotate them they worked correctly. Eventually, I found a solution in the l2h archives at: http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/latex2html/1999-08/msg00014.html The bottom line is to remove the -E flags from $DVIPSOPT in l2hconf.pm in two places. With that fix, I got rid of almost all the errors. There were a scant few "Illegal seek" errors that remained. Eventually, I tracked it down -- and it even makes sense! The problem stems from the use of the null matching bracket symbol commands. For instance, this file: \documentclass{article} \begin{document} \begin{equation} \left. F \right) \end{equation} \begin{equation} \left. D \right] \end{equation} \end{document} when processed via latex2html -nomath -html_version 3.2,math -white bug.tex generates four images, two of which give this kind of error: GNU Ghostscript 6.51 (2001-03-28) Copyright (C) 2001 artofcode LLC, Benicia, CA.

Does that make sense? If so, can it be fixed? Cheers, -Mike ============================================================================ Dr. Michael L.
