No, result was, that there were no result ;) i.e. it died after a
l-o-o-ong and hard work, and produced nothing

Ok, but is it really problem of codings? If, for example, I don't care
about coding at all and all what I need is to convert latex's \bla{ }
to html's <bla> </bla> for an arbitrary 8 bit characters text.  I
thought codepage parameter is used in latex2html only to put correct
<META encoding= > tag.  Am I wrong?

PS I'm deleting that <META > from HTML output afterwards, because
Netscape is not supporting correctly Cyrillic (KOI8) page.
