Ross,

I had thought of something like:

%begin{latexonly}
 \includegraphics{../whatever.jpg}
%end{latexonly}
\begin{htmlonly}
 \htmladdimg{<path>/whatever.jpg}
\end{htmlonly}

this will likely work...

However, a point of interest, oddly enough with
l2h-2000-beta I didn't include the `dvips' package
or call it in the \documentclass[ ] statement.  This
results in none of my JPG being converted to PS...
the resulting HTML files simply include (link)
to the JPGs as is.

Regards and thanks for your responce,
chris.forbes
