Hi Ross!  Thanx for the response.  I am using latex2html 98.2 beta8
(September 9th, 1998) on RedHat 5.2.  My perl version is 5.004_04 built
for i386-linux

Here is my entire latex file:

  \documentclass{report}
  \usepackage{html}
  \usepackage{makeidx}

  \begin{document}

  link={\tt MAINPROG}

  \end{document}
