well, my graphics haven't been processed as well. I have not made any bigger 
effort yet, to search for special changes that latex2html needs and latex dont. i use 
includegraphics with the package grraphixs. i read about the \htmlimage command 
but that wont solve the problem, i guess.

the message i get, is in fact that dvips could not find the file. it looks for the 
subdirectory path, but certanily in its own directory where dvips.exe is located.
(I tried to put the images in the input directory with the tex files).

what exactly should the name of the variable be, so that dvips looks it up?

what  confuses me is, why does dvips find the files when latex is invoked, but does 
not find them running through latex2html? does latex2html bring its totally own latex?
