There is a version of Perl available for the Macintosh called MacPerl. So parts of the Unix-based converter will easily port to the Macintosh. However, the Unix-based converter makes system calls to several Unix programs for converting graphics--ppmtogif and mpeg_encode. If you comment out these system calls, you might be able to run math2html (the program formerly known as mma2html) using MacPerl to convert all of the text to HTML. I guess that you would also have to change all of the "/"s to ":"s in the path names for files to conform to the Macintosh file system convention. Math2html is available at ftp://ftp.ma.iup.edu/pub/math2html and on MathSource. MacPerl is available at various places including ftp://ftp.cis.ufl.edu/pub/perl/CPAN/ports/mac/. If anyone does decide to port math2html to the Macintosh, let me know. I might be able to give some assistance.
