tex4ht for DEBIAN
----------------------

Each file in the tex4ht system has a version date recorded within it.  The
version of this Debian package is 19990804, based on the date of the 'zip' 
file containing the latest upstream updates.  The version dates of the main 
source and style files are as follows:
	tex4ht.c	1999-07-18
	t4ht.c		1999-06-18
	tex4ht.sty	1999-08-05
	htfcss.env	1999-03-19

There are no original manual pages for tex4ht, but I have written a page based
on the program's output, the author's notes, the HTML documentation and some
experimentation.  The user-guide consists of HTML documentation which is
available in /usr/doc/texmf/tex4ht.  Start with file mn.html (or index.html)
in your web browser.

The original source did not include a Makefile, so I have written one.  As
well as compiling and installing the programs, the Makefile generates the
shell script 'ht', which is used to run tex/latex followed by the two tex4ht
programs (tex4ht and t4ht).

The Debian versions of tex4ht and t4ht are built with the 'kpathsea'
file-search library, as used by tex and other programs in the package
tetex-bin.  See the file README.kpathsea in this directory for notes on how
tex4ht can be configured using the global kpathsea configuration file.

I have deleted from the original sources the following files/directories:
   wfiles.zip		Windows program/files
   ufiles.zip		UNIX source files (another copy of share/tex4ht.c etc)
   dos/*		DOS files
   win95/*		32-bit Windows files
   share/all4ht.zip	*.4ht files (another copy of share/all4ht/*)
   share/ht-fonts.zip	*.htf files (another copy of share/ht-fonts/*)

The default configuration for tex4ht uses the 'convert' program from the
'imagemagick' suite to convert from postscript to GIF file.  If you do not
have the imagemagick package installed, you will have to adjust the 'G' lines
towards the end of the configuration file '/etc/tex4ht/tex4ht.env'.  See the
HTML documentation for more details (/usr/doc/texmf/tex4ht/mn28.html).

For more details on the configuration of tex4ht, see the HTML documentation,
and in particular file '/usr/doc/texmf/tex4ht/mn42.html'.
