This version can handle bibtex file or the absense of bibtex file. Simply put this in the directory with your LaTeX document and type: make all This will (assuming no errors in your LaTeX) produce a postscript file and a pdf. make clean will remove all the files produced by the makefile except for the pdf make cleaner will also remove the pdf make html will run latex2html make htmlclean will remove the files produced by the html target.
