Cygwin's teTeX installation includes both tex and latex, as well as a number of other TeX-related programs. (TeTeX is described as a "complete TeX distribution"; these days, LaTeX is considered a required part of such a thing.) > I have an existing project and make file, possibly from Unix, and it uses > latex and latex2html. > > I have installed tex but it does not seem to have a tex2html command. > > What commands and what packages do I need ? LaTeX2HTML is actually a completely separate program from TeX/LaTeX/etc, though it (of course) processes LaTeX input files. I don't believe that there is currently a Cygwin package for it, so I suspect you'll need to install it directly. The official LaTeX2HTML website is here: http://www.latex2html.org/; it contains downloads, though it seems fairly sparse on installation info. In addition, http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/suvrit/work/l2h.html contains some basic instructions for installing it on Cygwin. A Google search on "latex2html cygwin" finds others as well. - Brooks -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
