Sorry for the ambiguity.  latex2html-2002-2-1 (dated May 23,2003) does the
same thing you found, namely that it correctly outputs relative URLs for
images that need no processing (like pngs, jpegs, etc.)

OK, the [angle=-90] optional argument to \includegraphics is an unnecessary
distraction.  Let's say we take it out.  My test document (test19.tex) then
becomes:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{html}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
Here is some text.
\begin{figure}
\begin{center}
\includegraphics{wave.ps}
\end{center}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

This still fails to convert wave.ps into img1.png using latex2html-2002-2-1.
Here are the resulting output messages under the -debug option:

*********** WARNINGS ***********

If you are having problems displaying the correct images with Mosaic,
try selecting "Flush Image Cache" from "Options" in the menu-bar
and then reload the HTML file.

Done.
Timing: 1 seconds

===============================================================================

Please note that:

	1)  Neither dvips nor pstoimg is called.
	2)  There is no l2h* directory left behind in /tmp.
	3)  I have recently upgraded to a "modern" version of LaTeX and
	    dvips (from TeX Live), so there should be no software
	    compatibility problems.
	4)  The img1.dvi file left behind in the test19 directory
	    was valid.
	5)  This same document works fine with latex2html-2002.

So it still appears that although latex2html-2002-2-1 does indeed fix the
absolute path problem, it introduces another more serious bug, which prevents
it from processing "normal" .ps files.

Indeed, the **rotated** file fails to be converted even in latex2html-2002,
becuase the BoundingBox is improperly computed in this case.  I also agree
that this problem does have a relatively easy work-around: simply rotate
the figure in the first place.  However, PostScript figures in Portrait
orientation are often written at a 90 degree angle to make them fit on a
rectangular printed page.

The file wave.ps is available in a previous message in this thread if anyone
wants to test with it, although there is nothing remarkable about it.
