ight) now works

        in addition to mimeTeX's abbreviation (...)  (and ditto for
        other sized delimiters).  Similarly, {...atop...} works
        as expected, and ditto for various other commands that weren't
        precisely compatible in earlier versions.
    (b) Improved anti-aliasing.
    (c) New commands 

aisebox{}{} and otatebox{}{} to afford users

        better control over rendered images, 	extit{} and {it...},
        lim_ and all other functions and 	r for trace, hspace{} and
        other new math spaces, various other new commands like fbox{},
        and several minor bug fixes.
    (d) Recognizes html special characters like < and > since some
        web tools cause problems by translating < to &lt; and > to &gt;
        etc.  Also translates %xx url-encoded charcaters for essentially
        the same reason.
    (e) Thoroughly updated documentation.
 ----------------------------------------------------
 From the original submission...
    MimeTeX parses LaTeX math expressions, emitting either gif images
    or mime xbitmaps of them, rather than the usual TeX dvi's.
    MimeTeX images are therefore easily inserted directly into html
    documents using a standard html <img> tag, e.g.,
      <img src=../cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?f(x)=int_{-infty}^xe^{-t^2}dt
       border=0 align=absmiddle>
    without intermediate dvi-to-gif conversion, and without storing lots
    of little gif image files, one file for each converted expression.
    This makes your web site and html documents more easily maintained.
    See
             http://www.forkosh.com/mimetex.html#examples
    for many examples demonstrating mimeTeX's features and usage.

Thanks for the update, I installed it in

support/mimetex
