Wow!  784 images is really quite a lot.
This may take a long time to process them all.
It's possible that you just interrupted too soon.

I don't know where this call to  vi  comes from.
It may be that your interruption spawned an attempt to  vi
the document source; but the current working directory is
out by one level, so this fails.


Try running your job again, using  -debug  as an option to
  latex2html .
If there is an  images.pl  file in the destination directory,
then remove it first, else you may need to run  latex2html  twice
before images can be created correctly.

This is because your job was terminated prematurely.
Only after the images have been created will all these be
converted to proper HTML tagging.

This is certainly the best place to ask for help.
