<< June,
 
 I find that IE does not cooperate.  I also have a Mac (and Windows 95).
 
 Here is some info which may be helpful (from the Math Forum Newsletter).
 I hope this helps,

There is an alternative to TtH and that is TexToHTML (I don't have the URL to 
hand because I am not at home but I think CTAN do an FTP copy).  This 
conversion utility will work on all platforms because it converts all TeX 
mathematical notaion into GIF files.  The problems then start however, every 
bit of notation needs an image making the page large and difficult to 
manipulate - still quite affective.  Back to TtH, it uses higher end ASCII 
characters to display notation, all you need to do is change your character 
set (Mac users I can't speak for, but I think the idea is much the same) You 
want to change the set for high end ASCII (non-standard) sets and things will 
run fine.  Perhaps people might think of upgrading to IE 5 which I think has 
dealt with this problem and also allows saving of entire web pages with their 
images intact.  If you want to try this out have a look at my site and see if 
you can view my Molien's Theorem dissertation:

There is also a link to my research proposal which deals precisely with the 
nature of this list.
