I believe the method is to do something like

 $ remind -p /media/nfs/Rem/.reminders |
 /home/bobg/Downloads/remind-03.03.01/www/rem2html > ~/cal.html

and then point Firefox at

  file:///home/bobg/cal.html

This assumes that rem2html has the appropriate execute bits set:

  $ chmod +x /home/bobg/Downloads/remind-03.03.01/www/rem2html

If your $PATH contains that remind-03.03.01/www directory, you don't
need to invoke it by the full path:

  $ remind -p /media/nfs/Rem/.reminders | rem2html > ~/cal.html

If you have a symbolic link like

  $ ln -s /media/nfs/Rem/.reminders ~/.reminders

you can simplify it even further

  $ rem -p | rem2html > ~/cal.html

All this assumes that the remind(1) binary is also in your $PATH (the
"tkremind" that you list is a GUI front-end, not the main remind(1)
binary).  So you might need to locate that binary and invoke it by
full-path if it's not in your $PATH.
