That is partly true.  `grohtml' transforms the equation into an image that is
stored as a png picture in the current directory.  `groff' generates a html
output containing a reference to this stored image file.

This could be alright, but goes wrong when you are not in a writable
directory or the html output is stored to some file in another directory.

The non-writable directory problem could be fixed by making `groff' store
the images in the temporary directory; but then the finding and the
removement of the suitable image files could be complicated.

A better method might be to find a possibility to include the picture source
directly into the html output.  But I do not have any idea on this.

I fixed `groffer' to always work by changing to the temporary directory
before `groff' is called.

Other ideas?
