[l2h] Error in dealing with an \epsfig macro.

[G. A. Gallup]

Greetings:
   I have obtained latex2html and installed it with apparent success on
both a RedHat 6.3 system and a Slackware 7 system.

I used the following LaTeX fragment 

\begin{figure}[htb]
\epsfig{file=/home/ggallup/l2html/vb/brn.ps,width=4.0in,angle=270}
\caption{The spin branching diagram}
\label{spn_brn}
\end{figure}

This gives an error with the command

latex2html -image-type gif -transparent -debug <file_name> >& l2h.log

The pertinant portion of the l2h.log file

I may not understand the message, but converting the ps image to gif by
hand seems to work.

Has anyone an idea?

Thanks.
