[l2h] html.sty ans harvard.sty

[Jean-Pierre Chretien]

Hello,

I'm getting into trouble when I try to compile ifacsam.tex (+ifacsam.bib)
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/nonfree/macros/latex/contrib/ifacmtg/
on the recent TeXLive-2005 TUG distribution.

Compilation fails with error messages during the .bbl file compilation.

This seems due to html.sty which comes with latex2html. If I replace it by an empty
file, there are no more errors.

It worked on the preceding distribution TeXLive-2004, and when I compare
the loaded files, I get:

All extension come with TeXLive, but html.sty.

I suspected url.sty, as I use the 3.2 version coming with TeXLive instead of
version 1.4 coming with latex2html, but this doesn't make any change.

AThis seems also related to the harvard.sty file, as all is right with natbib.
This example is quite particular, but I would not like users of harvard.sty to get errors
with documents which used to be flawless with earlier versions of TeXLive.

ny clue about this ? 

TIA
