 # latex2html
 
+LATEX2HTML is a convertor written in Perl that converts LATEX documents to HTML.
+This way e.g. scientific papers - primarily typeset for printing - can be put on the Web for online viewing.
+
+LATEX2HTML does also a good job in rapid web site deployment.
+
+It is designed to run on UNIX-like systems (e.g. Linux, Solaris, IRIX, Dec Unix, HP-UX, AIX) as well as Windows (95, 98, NT) systems.
