You are right.  hyperref is installed but a problem is that about 6 
styles are missing when I run latex2html on Linux.  I have obtained the 
.sty files from the  web, but I haven't found out where to place them.

On Windows, I haven't been able to install latex2HTML properly and thus 
it is unusable there.

Of these, ASCIIMathML seems to be the cleaner way to go.  itex2mml  
appears to require a dialect of latex.
