I can't think of a fifth step to try, all I can do is to reiterate the point
that the

! UNABLE to convert

message means that doc2html.pl has gone through its list of converters and
failed to find one which matched both the MIME-type given as its second
argument and the magic word (ie the first few characters) of the file whose
name is given by its first argument.

There are only a limited number of ways in which this can happen.  Sorry I
can't be of more help.
