I never had any problems with tex4ht and never had to do anything 
special to get it to work.  However, there are some package 
combinations that don't work.  I just ran an old document through using 
``ht latex filename'' and it worked fine (using an updated TL2005 
install from a few days ago).  The processing sequence is:

latex filename
latex filename
latex filename
tex4ht filename
t4ht filename

Which command bombs out?
