It does work. I didn't delete the image cache, 
so the images were not recalculated.

The /latex2html-99.2beta8/INSTALL ist perfectly right.
Perhaps an extra paragraph like:

'Don't forget to delete images from former runs if you want to change the image
format. Image recycling prevents recreation of images even if the image format
is changed. You may use the "-no_reuse" switch for this purpose.' 

Would fit after the 'Alternatively...' sentence.
