Hi, Ross:

Thanks for your help. I have put the files under

http://ct.radiology.uiowa.edu/~jiangm/dbct/
(all .tex, .eps, .png, .bb files)

http://ct.radiology.uiowa.edu/~jiangm/dbct/dbct.pdf
(the pdf file by pdflatex, i.e., the layout I'd like to get)

http://ct.radiology.uiowa.edu/~jiangm/dbct/html-makeimage
(html translated with makeimage environment)

http://ct.radiology.uiowa.edu/~jiangm/dbct/html
(html translated without makeimage environment)

there are several problems:

(1) The layout with makeimage is better than that without makeimage, but
still it does not look as good as the one in the pdf file.

(2) Without makeimage, the images are scattered, together with the
captions. latex2html does not produce one figure. (I may be wrong, may
some latex2html trick can solve this problem)

(3) The cross ref/link does not lead to the right image in both case.

(4) I got gray background for the images with makeimage, they look worse
than those without makeimage.

(5) I'd like to use one set of tex file to produce pdf/dvi/ps/html
output. So I have all my image files in the png format. Please have a
look at the master file dbct.tex. There I used a script pngtoeps to
convert png file to eps file. But I am having problem when using
makeimage: in this situation, latex2html will produce an image from the
latex output, which will invoke my script pngtoeps to finish the
translation job; but in running latex2html, it complains "cannot open"
the image file (in fact that complain comes from my script, but it seems
that latex2html does not tell it the right file location). When I change
the image format to eps, it works(?). 

(6) The information about my computer is:
$ latex2html -V
This is LaTeX2HTML Version 2K.1beta (1.57)
by Nikos Drakos, Computer Based Learning Unit, University of Leeds.

$ rpm -q netpbm
netpbm-9.20-1

$ rpm -q tetex
tetex-1.0.7-15

OS is Redhat 7.1

Thanks for your time and help.
