[l2h] cannot find file in \input

[Ger van Diepen]

Hello,

I have the problem that latex2html (in fact, texexpand) cannot find
a file specified in a \input line.
I use latex2html version 99.2beta8 (1.43) on a SUSE 7.3 Linux system.

I have a latex file basically looking like:

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{html}
\begin{document}
\input{taql.tex}
\end{document}

The problem is that taql.tex is not in the working directory, but one
below (in subdirectory 199.dir).
Latex2e can easily find the file because ./199.dir is mentioned
in the TEXINPUTS env.variable.

But latex2html gives the error:

 texexpand: include taql.tex failed. Reinserting  command

after which pstoimg gives the error:

 pstoimg: Error: "/usr/bin/pnmcrop < /tmp/l2h655/p671.pnm |
/usr/bin/ppmquant -floyd 256 | /usr/bin/pnmtopng -interlace -trans
'#ffffff'  > img1.png" failed: Illegal seek

The option -debug learned me that texexpand does not take TEXINPUTS
into account, but seems to use a more or less predefined path.


Now is my question:

Can I tell latex2html to look into 199.dir to find taql.tex or do
I need to change the \input line into \input{199.dir/taql.tex} ?
The latter would be tedious, because there are many more such files.

Another question is why latex2html does not take TEXINPUTS into account
anymore. It used to do it.


Thanks,
