I did read the README files :) but...

...this is my target group as I have to deal with older browsers (NS
4.0x, MS3.x (!))

I never recommend anyone to update to the latest Browsergeneration.
Today NS5.x /6.x looks horrible and seems to be more instable than ever
before (tried NS6 preview1). And I am sure you understand that I won't
push anyone to update IE5.x from the micro$oft web site, don't you?

So, please, is there a simple switch to get latex2html to create GIFs
instead of PNGs again?

Ronald
