The text that needs to be kept verbatim (and not processed to expand macros, etc.) is stored in a database file, and replaced inline by the database key to that piece of text. Once all macros have been expanded, and other processing tasks performed, that key is used to replace the text. Different operating systems use different database software. My guess would be that under recent versions of Windows, the commands to open/close/read the database file may no longer be appropriate for that OS, after the 10+ years since that Perl coding was written. Yet it has stayed constant under Linux. This is the direction that you should be looking. Since I don't use Windows, I cannot explore this myself.
Thanks Ross, this really helps, but it made me more confused now :) First, I assume you mean the dbm database, as per this http://www.latex2html.org/user/FAQ "DBM or NDBM , the Unix DataBase Management system, or GDBM , the GNU database manager. Note: Some systems lack any DBM support. Perl 5 comes with its own database system SDBM, but it is sometimes not part of some Perl distributions." But I am running Latex2html on Linux. So, if any data base is being used, it will on Linux. Perl uses in Linux perl. Everything I do is on Linux, it is only the file itself (the .tex) is sitting on windows disk. So, I do not understand why would different database be used, or windows OS be involved in any way here? When you say "Different operating systems use different database software" But I am using Linux? It is a virtual machine, running Linux. Please note again, this only affect \verb , but \begin{verbatim} is not affected. If the database you mention handles all verbatim, then why it only affects \verb and not \begin{verbatim}? Would you please happen to know if there is a configuration option to tell Latex2html to change how it process \verb ? Best regards, --Nasser
thanks --NasserHope this helps, Ross ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ross Moore ross.mo...@mq.edu.au Mathematics Department office: E7A-419 Macquarie University tel: +61 (0)2 9850 8955 Sydney, Australia 2109 fax: +61 (0)2 9850 8114 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
